It’s just that Vicky and her father, who has seen what the wolf means to his daughter, aren’t letting that happen. Mystère should be wild, living in a preserve. She’s a veterinarian, and has ties to local wildlife management. A secret wolf pet isn’t something these guys are going to stomach.Īnd as cute as little Mystère is, snuggling with Vicky, shredding her shoes and howling, her keeping him is sure to run her afoul of the single mom ( Marie Gillain) who has been flirting with Dad at school pick-ups and drop-offs. The shepherds are downright militant in their demands to exterminate the wolves, to change policy so that what they do is legal. He doesn’t discover her “dog…maybe a Husky?” until after he’s marveled at the fact that she’s speaking again and coming out of her grief and shock.Īs we’ve not seen the 8 year-old feed or walk little Mystère, we wonder how keeping this rambunctious “secret” is remotely possible.īut that’s not as important as what the wolf inside their door represents.
All of this is done with father Stephane somehow being none the wiser. Old Men of the Mountains know exactly what little kids need.Īnd so, in the film’s most far-fetched plot point, Vicky tucks the pup into her backpack, sneaks him home and lets him stay in her room. Her silence comes to an end in an instant. But Victoria spies what she takes to be just a cute puppy, orphaned and curled up in a basket in the farmer’s barn. Plainly, Dad getting lost isn’t their biggest concern.Ī friendly farmer (the great Tchéky Karyo) takes them in and offers to take them home after one misdirected hike. The shepherds are zealous about wolf “culling,” killing the last predators in the region so keep the wolves from attacking their sheep. Maybe a little Alpine sojourn will help her recover.īut we’ve seen local shepherds taking to the nearby forests where father and daughter hike. He lost his wife, and his little girl, Victoria ( Shanna Keil) hasn’t spoken since her mother died. “ Vicky and her Mystery” is a “true story” of a child and her adopted wolf, talkier and more melodramatically conventional than the minor classic “The Fox & the Child (2007),” but similar in setting, themes and living, breathing canis vulpes or canis lupus.Ī doctor ( Vincent Albez) has taken a leave of absence and retreated to his family’s country modest country house in the foothills of the Alps.
They know there is no substitute for actors interacting with and audiences marveling at a living, breathing, not-wholly-predictable animal. In France, they still do things the old-fashioned and proper way.
