After her grandfather’s death, 20-year old Alma decides to go back to her childhood home – a little island in the heart of a majestic forest. While there, she rescues two helpless cubs: a wolf and a lion. They forge an inseparable bond, but their world soon collapses as the forest ranger discovers the animals and takes them away. The two cub brothers must now embark on a treacherous journey to be reunited with one another and Alma once more.
“The Wolf and the Lion” is rated PG for thematic elements, language, and some peril and has a 100-minute running time.
The 23rd Annual Phoenix Film Festival will run from Thursday, March 23rd – Sunday, April 2nd at Harkins Scottsdale 101. Full details for the Phoenix Film Festival can be found at: www.phoenixfilmfestival.com
