In 37 BC, a young Illyrian named Volsus joins a Roman unit whose encounters with local, supposedly subjugated Illyrian tribes turn its seemingly simple task of collecting taxes into a perilous journey full of unexpected twists. Through the eyes of the youngster, regarded by the Romans as a primitive barbarian, we see an archaic, emotional world of quaint and brutal laws and traditions, not all that different from our own.

After The Snow Leopard, nature photographer Vincent Munier takes us to the heart of the Vosges forests. This is where he learned everything from his father Michel, a naturalist who spent his life on the lookout in the woods. It is time for them to pass on this knowledge to Simon, Vincent’s son. Three perspectives, three generations, a shared fascination with wildlife. With them, we will discover deer, rare birds, foxes, lynx… and sometimes even the flapping wings of the legendary capercaillie. Whispers in the Woods invites us to experience the forest and let it overwhelm us with its textures, smells, and sounds. See it under the stars!

Through candid conversations, a studio reunion, and a wealth of archival material, the film reveals how the two artists’ sensitivity to the magic of everyday life once united their creative worlds – creating a third.
