LA DANSE DES RENARDS
Wild Foxes
a film by Valery Carnoy
Belgium – France, 2025, 90’
NATIONAL PREMIERE
v.o. Italian subtitles
La Danse des Renards (Wild Foxes) explores the fragility of adolescent masculinity, the changing male body, the traumas of youth, and the systemic violence of the sporting world. Through the eyes of Camille—a promising young boxer whose life is upended by a tragic accident—the film examines how he begins to question his identity, his body, and the dream of glory he had built around his boxing career.
As the championship final approaches, Camille must confront not only the physical and mental pain that paralyzes him but also a rift in his friendship with his teammate, who no longer recognizes the strong, victorious friend he once knew. The wound—and the act of caring for it—thus becomes a metaphor for the passage to adulthood.
