In this moving and universal survival story, follow the incredible destiny of a polar bear family in a changing environment.

After the weaning period, two cubs, brother and sister, must provide for their own needs and adapt to the warming of the icebergs. While the female tries unsuccessfully to hunt walruses and struggles to survive, her brother successfully hunts seals resting on drifting icebergs.

The filmmaker Jérôme Bouvier has travelled all over Spitzbergen on snowmobiles and sailboats. He has endured the blinding and permanent light of this region, where there is freezing cold and winds of 60 kilometres an hour.
More over, the polar bear is the largest land carnivore and has the reputation of being the only animal that actively hunts humans. Nevertheless, not much choice is given to the filmmaker and his guides : to venture into the intimacy of these starving giants, relying only on sounds and visual displays to scare off the everinquisitive beasts.
