Sequoia (1935)

In the heart of California's majestic Sequoia forests, young Toni resides with her father, the accomplished writer, Matthew Martin. During a leisurely stroll in the woods, she stumbles upon a tiny puma she fondly names 'Gato' and a young fawn she calls 'Malibu'. Breaking the laws of nature, the trio forms an unlikely bond, blurring the lines between predator and prey. Years pass and life propels Toni and Matthew beyond the confines of the forest, leaving Gato and Malibu to reclaim their wild instincts. Despite their diverging paths, the unique friendship between the puma and the fawn endures. However, on their return, Toni and Matthew encounter a chilling scene. The once thriving animal population is now dwindling, a heart-rending aftermath of relentless logging and hunting. The nefarious actions of their neighbor, Bergman, a seasoned trapper turned ruthless hunting guide, have turned the serene forest into a battleground where even the innocent fawns aren't spared. Now, it's a desperate fight for survival for Gato and Malibu. Amidst the chaos, they must rely on their enduring friendship and the lessons learnt from their human companions to navigate the harsh realities of the wild.
