Le Blaireau follows the misadventures of four graduate-level researchers somewhere in the woods in Northern France. Mac is on an obsessive hunt for a rare species of badger on the brink of extinction. Sasha searches for fulfillment whilst digging up soil samples from the ancient earth below their feet. Julie chases the love of her in the middle of an ethnological study of the Gauls. And James? James isn’t entirely sure why he’s out here at all.
A frenzied, pagan dance through untamed wilderness, Le Blaireau is an unapologetically unsubstantiated anthropological study into what the hell happens when we allow ourselves to get lost in the woods–and what happens when we finally find ourselves again.
