Why We Should Preserve Our Nature
By Craig Kimu
Today I woke up expecting nothing good and exciting not that I was in no mood of fun but some things are just unexpected. When I arrived at the Alliance francaise because I did not want to miss some interesting movies that were being screened.
Talking of interesting movies I watched this Finnish movie called the Mystery of Wolves. This movie is about two young children who unexpectedly come across two young cubs. It happened that for these cubs to be lost there was an incident that had occurred earlier. Salla the twelve year old girl loves nature and enjoys the wilderness which is why she feels at home. This girl lives with adopted parents in a Finnish village where her father works as a soldier. Unexpectedly Salla’s biological mother Leila returns to the village after a ten year absence and that shocks and scares everyone. But it upsets Salla especially.
Salla turns up with her best friend a boy who lives close to her house when they come across the two young cubs they instantly fall in love with the cubs and want to keep the cubs despite that they have to hide away from ruthless man who is hunting for wolves for their fur especially the one that killed his dog and fled away.
That is how they come across Salla and her friend. They took the cubs and kept them for a few days until the ruthless hunter and a couple of his friends find out about the hide out .however the are afraid to get close to the kids because they will report them to Salla’s father. This gives them a challenge to save the cubs and find a safe place to put them without attracting so much attention and this leaves them with one option of leaving the cubs with Salla’s mother which Salla does not want too hear of.
Well Salla tries to cope with her own issues of living with her mother something is common and that is the love for nature. Salla has to learn to face her past. Salla and Leila are then united by their love for nature and animals. She then decides to face the challenge of saving the cubs and reuniting with the mother.
She then saves the cubs with the help of everyone who loves her though they went through a lot at times trying to dodge the ruthless man.
This story is an exciting and teaching story. I think if everyone was so concerned and caring likes Salla her family this would be some heaven on earth’. As we all know a good story to be there, there should be a good story to be good director.
