One day in autumn , when she rides her bicycle to school through the forest , she observes a fox hunting . Of course , the fox escapes , but the girl yearns to meet the animal again . During the following months , the girl spends most of her free time in the forest trying to find the fox , but she does n't meet it again until winter arrives . During the winter , she follows the fox 's tracks far across the fields . Suddenly she compares her hand to the size of the tracks near those she is following and discovers they are relatively fresh wolf tracks . She is alarmed as a wolf pack begins howling near her . She runs away panicked , falls and hurts her ankle . The ankle heals very slowly , so that she has to stay at home during the winter reading a book about foxes and other animals of the forest . When spring arrives , the girl is looking for foxholes and waits for the fox . The fox has young babies and moves from one foxhole to another because of the girl 's inquisitiveness ; so the girl decides to observe the fox from a greater distance . The girl finds the fox again and tries to get the animal accustomed to her . She feeds it meat . Later she can even touch the fox and is led to the new den . Finally , the fox comes to her house and she lets it inside , wanting to show it her bedroom . But the fox becomes distressed at not being able to find a way out and escapes by smashing through the brittle plate glass window , shattering the glass . The fox is hurt badly but survives . The girl learns that she can not keep wild animals as pets at home as they are unpredictable and are not possessions . Years later she tells the whole story to her son , as seen at the end of the film . Some versions ( DVD English ) replace this scene with a text graphic . About the film ( edit ) The film was shot on the Plateau de Retord in Ain , which the film director knows well because he spent his youth there , in the summer , as well as in the Abruzzo in Italy . The foxes in the film were played by six animals : Titus , Sally , Ziza , Scott , Tango and Pitchou . Titus was the fox who had been tamed by Marie - Noëlle Baroni .
