The Wolf and the Lion: A Heartwarming Tale

After losing her grandfather, Alma Deranquel returns to her childhood home in the Canadian wilderness. In the forest, she comes across the wreckage of a plane that had been destined for a circus with a lion cub poached from its mother in Africa. The cub falls into her hands when a bald eagle knocks it out of the nest it fell into during the crash. So, she decides not to hand it over to the forest rangers because her grandfather campaigned against the mistreatment of animals in circuses. At the same time, a female wolf who had somewhat befriended Alma’s grandfather—perhaps because his cabin was built over the site of the old wolf den where she, herself, was born and raised—comes to find refuge in Alma’s house, with her pup, when she is pursued by two scientists. The lion cub and the wolf pup live like brothers; they play together and both are kept well-fed thanks to the she-wolf.

Alma’s Journey and the Separation

While Alma is off on a 2-day trip involving a classical music audition for the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, the wolf mother disappears. It turns out that she was hit by a tranquilizer dart fired by one of the two scientists. Both of them wishing to transfer her to a breeding facility for the (fictional) endangered wolf species Canis lupus nyx. This leaves Alma the only one available to raise and protect the cubs while the three of them live in peace for a year or two. During that time, she names the wolf pup Mozart and the lion cub “Dreamer” (in apparent reference to the Ozzy Osbourne song). After Alma has an accident, her Native Canadian godfather Joe must notify the authorities to save her, despite the fact that this separates the trio.

The Search and Reunion

Mozart is reunited with his mother at the rescue facility, where the two zoologists hope he’ll breed with the available younger females as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the lion trainer of the circus who bought Dreamer begins showing his classical music-loving son Raphael how to show a lion who is “boss”. The brutal methods demonstrated (off-camera) visibly horrify the boy. In the meantime, Alma has left the hospital where she had been recovering from a concussion. With Joe’s help, she begins tracking down which particular circus bought Dreamer, as the local forest ranger in charge is also Joe’s bitter ex-girlfriend, making her doubly uncooperative.

A Heart-Pounding Reunion

The circus in question eventually passes by the wolf breeding facility, allowing Mozart to catch his foster brother’s scent. Mozart therefore escapes that night by digging a tunnel under the mesh-wire fence. Upon discovering this, Eli (the senior zoologist) has to apologize to Alma for their earlier misunderstanding to get her help in tracking down Mozart. By which point, Mozart has miraculously liberated Dreamer, allowing the two of them to head back towards Alma’s island. Unfortunately, their journey does not go unnoticed and the police soon receive multiple phone calls about the two “dangerous” animals.

A Thrilling Escape

With Raphael’s help, Alma and Eli track down Mozart and Dreamer not far from the child-sized log cabin where Alma used to play as a little girl. Raphael’s father tries to take Dreamer back at gunpoint, but, Raphael manages to dissuade him just before a police SWAT team arrives on the scene. Alma takes Mozart and Dreamer through a secret tunnel from the play house to a certain hollow tree. From there, she and Mozart swim to the island without Dreamer, who wanders off to divert the SWAT team’s attention. Tense moments later, however, it is revealed that Dreamer managed to outwit his hunters.

A Joyful Reunion

The movie ends with Alma performing an outdoor concert for the benefit of abused captive wild animals while Mozart and Dreamer play together in the nearby woods.
