But now that you see them...

... it is not so sure.

It is not about rung seals.

Nanu doesn't have experience

in attacking enormous tusks.

The mature ones triplicate it in weight and they are

armed of teeth like daggers.

Maybe discover a weak or small

that it can manage.

The hunger impels it to continue ahead,

in spite of their few possibilities.

But it is very young and very small...

... and they don't make it to him anything easy.

Their last opportunity

he/she seems to disappear.

Nanu has maybe traveled so much

only to die from hunger.

However, the old bear drifts

an attack from the sea...

... and it acts while the flock

it dozes unworried.

The bear advances in favor of the wind.

He/she comes closer without nobody notices it.

Seela escapes to the water behind its aunt,

but the bear catches it.

The aunt doesn't doubt it.

He/she returns to save the breeding.

Thanks to their anger,

Seela is able to escape to the sea.

In an act of loyalty,

the aunt makes the biggest sacrifice.

Seela awaits...

... but the aunt won't return.

As long as, Nanu weakens.

Without food,

he/she won't be able to resist much more.

He/she knows that the male is not

habituated to share...

... and that it could kill her with easiness.

But this is the moment to demonstrate

the temper that their mother inculcated him/her.

He/she refuses to renounce.

If it doesn't convince him of sharing

the food, she dies.

For that reason he/she doesn't leave...

... and it continues there...

... until he allows him/her to take

what needs.

An only death preserves

the life of many.

During the following four years,

Nanu and Seela return to these rocks...

... since the marine ice melts

more and more early.

The increase of the temperature

he/she has made this even more difficult world...

... altering the ancestral rhythm

of the stations...

... provoking the gradual breakup

of the Kingdom of ice...

... and this way transforming

to their legitimate masters...

... in refugees.

In the whole rtico...

... the animals should wait more and more

the return of the ice.

At the end...

... an old tusk of the flock perceives

the remote scent of marine ice and I fry.

It is hour of returning home.

Nanu also returns

to their Kingdom of native ice.

In the their eighth year-old spring...

... to return to the home implies

a new emotion.

During almost all their life,

it avoided the male bears.

Now it is attracted by one.

And he/she begins this way

an old communion as the time...

... but of vital importance

in a world that is disappearing.

Time later,

guided by the instinct and the memory,

Nanu climbs the mountain of snow.
