and they will come back to
the same place in five years -
a never-ending cycle of life.
For the bears,
the red salmon are a sign
that the end is near -
the end of summer,
the end of salmon season.
Now they know that they have to
eat as fast as they can,
stuff themselves,
and feed their cubs.
They must get ready
for the coming winter.
So all around the lake,
they fish relentlessly,
pressed for time.
Downstream, all the salmon
are gone from the big river.
The bears head for the lake.
The aggressive yearlings
arrive,
ready to fight
and start trouble.
But there's not many fish
left here either.
there are still a few salmon.
The young male,
the mothers and the cubs
are lost amongst
the teenage bears
and the hordes of other bears.
Soon the bears will have to go
beyond the trees,
further upstream into the
smaller branches of the river
to find the last
remaining salmon.
There are so many bears...
...so few fish.
Bears are solitary
most of the year.
They're not used to
close contact.
Here, they're crowded together.
But the only real solidarity
is between the mothers
and their cubs.
In the middle of irritated
and aggressive bears
trying to feed one last time,
the mother has to fish
and keep an eye on her cubs
at the same time.
And, as if that wasn't enough,
arrive.
They don't have a mother
to fish for them.
The only way they get food
is by stealing it
from younger cubs.
Unlike the males, the mother
not only has to fight for fish,
but must defend
and protect her cubs.
It is this instinct alone
that makes her even stronger.
in the middle of
all this aggression.
But he seems more interested
in the young female
than in finding food.
The bears that couldn't -
or didn't want to -
fight until the very end
feed off of rotten fish
along the river.
Unlike the young bear, survival
The salmon's arduous journey
has come to an end.
One generation dies
so that another may live.
Other salmon will come back
and other bears
will feed on them.
As long as the salmon continue
to make their long journey,
this wild land
still untouched by man.
That's the life of a bear,
with all its sublime absurdity,
because, actually, all they do
trying to survive winter,
recover from winter,
prepare for winter,
and doing it all over again.
But what could be more
beautiful than these creatures,
their serenity?
And the strength, tenacity,
persistence and determination
they employ to survive?
A few days later, the rivers
are completely empty.
