In a dizzying setting, eagles, foxes, wolves, chamois and ibex stare at each other, play, fight, chase each other or dodge.
Over a complete cycle of the seasons, the filmmakers invite us to unique scenes never filmed in the Alps.

Colin is 9 years old. He's just another city boy. His grandparents' profession, wildlife filmmakers, intrigues him. Whether it's snowing or windy, they're up there tracking mountain animals: chamois, mountain hares, black grouse, marmots, ibex, and more.
On his days off, for three years, he joins them in their hamlet perched at an altitude of 1,650 meters, in the Gran Paradiso National Park. Another school awaits him.
Before the golden eagle is no longer a tiny dot in the sky, and the chamois a flash that flees at its approach, the path of learning will be long, filled with patience, discouragement, and effort. Colin learns to be discreet, to recognize tracks, to walk with crampons, and to bivouac at high altitude.
An animal is missing, and to see it, Colin puts his grandfather to the test. Will they be able to find him?
"Directors Anne and Erik Lapied not only master mountain cinema, but also know how to convey the bond between a young boy and his grandparents, who venture into Gran Paradiso National Park in search of wildlife.
The film's contemplative pace reflects the theme of patience and observation, inviting the viewer to breathe deeply and embrace everything that presents itself.
In an age of hyper-acceleration, consumerism, and constant information stimulation, "Draw Me a Chamois" offers a refreshing peace, far from the noise and bustle of everyday life.
For its exceptional imagery and storytelling, the jury awards the Tatra National Park Director's Prize to "Draw Me a Chamois..."
