Chironup no Kitsune
Ken and Chin are foxes living on Chironup, a northern Japanese island, and they've just had two cubs: Koro and Kan. The family's life is pretty relaxed until they befriend a local fisherman and his wife. Things go downhill fast when soldiers passing through on a military exercise decide fox pelts would make great souvenirs, forcing the family to flee for their lives. It's a gentle film that works as an indirect allegory for the Ainu people of Japan and the territorial disputes over the northern islands—which have been a point of contention between Japan and Russia ever since Soviet forces occupied them in 1945.
