Bear is a huge and powerful wild beast, a symbol of strength and might. Man desires to have him in his ancestors, measuring his power with this animal through centuries and almost destroying it. Yet human becomes stronger not through a struggle or hunt, but… love. And care – for a bear. “Bear country” is a film about a land, where love between man and bear is mutual. You’ve never seen a bear like this before.
