Synopsis
After a long winter, a family of arctic foxes shakes off their winter coats only to discover that the paws of their old leader have gone transparent. As time progresses, the transparency keeps spreading and the old fox starts to become isolated from the rest of the pack. When winter comes around, he has become fully transparent except for the paw prints he leaves in the snow. He decides to leave the pack in the middle of the night, but his family follows him, hoping to catch one last glimpse of him before he is gone.
Christina S. Nerland was born in Temuco, Chile in 1988, but was adopted to Norway at three months old. She decided to become an animator at five years of age after seeing Disney's Aladdin. From a young age she taught herself the basic principles of animation and drawing before slowly starting to approach filmmaking in high school. She studied for a bachelor's degree in animation at Hedmark University College in Norway and later an MA in character animation at Central Saint Martins in London. Since graduating, she has worked for Nexus Productions and at Lupus Films on their 2016 Christmas special We're Going on a Bear Hunt.
