Leaving behind a degraded wilderness, the wild boar now navigates both forests and urban infrastructures. Often defined by the damage it causes, it has become a focal point of tension and hostility. By following the journey of one such animal, through its own perspective, we explore its sociability and remarkable adaptability to the human-shaped world. In doing so, we confront deeper questions about our relationship with the wild, and our capacity as humans to understand and coexist with other living beings.
