No nature filmmaker brings the wild nature as close as Vincent Munier does.

After The Velvet Queen, in which he ventured into the Tibetan Plateau in search of the elusive snow leopard, nature photographer and filmmaker Vincent Munier returns to the landscape that shaped him: the forests of the Vosges. Together with his father Michel and his son Simon, he enters the woods, where mist hangs between the trees and time seems to slow. Waiting in hides, listening to the forest, they observe lynxes, deer, owls, and other shy inhabitants.

Munier captures the interplay of light, silence, and movement in images that reveal the forest as a living, breathing whole, where every encounter is rare and meaningful. At the same time, an intimate portrait of three generations unfolds, united by their shared attentiveness to nature. What the father once passed on to the son is now handed down again: patience, wonder, and respect for the invisible life around them. Whispers in the Woods is a poetic nature film and a personal ode, in which Munier brings together his love for his family and for the forest in a sensory, almost fairy-tale-like cinematic experience.
