Bill, affable and traditionalist grandfather, lives in a cabin deep in the snowy woods of Montana, and its local life, which flows as equals, at a boring limbronciata girl, accustomed to other pastimes that do not make snowmen or collecting pinecones . Life in the city to spend looking Ryann lapprovazione of hateful classmates always allultima fashion and attacking the notebook photographs the objects of desire to possess, including cell phones and clothes. Afterinitial skepticism, that makes them outstanding from the nature that surrounds a fable, there are only trees and snow, Ryann starts a love for the mountain life, to make change possible, the discovery of an injured dog (a cross with a wild wolf ) to which the child becomes attached immediately and which takes care with a renewed enthusiasm.
Lepisodio that sets in motion the plot claim, by a wicked man to the marrow of the dog-wolf in question (a beautiful husky-eyed ice); scenting the possibility of exploiting dellhusky The energy recovered to win the race sleds pulled by dogs, Luomo recriminations dellanimale possession, it intervenes in the dispute a sheriff woman (one of the few non-stereotypical film), which establishes that the two contenders will compete in sled and the winner will win Buck. This is the name that in the meantime has Ryann allhusky and this also the name of the dog protagonista of the classic Jack London, The Call of the Wild, which every night the grandfather read a few pages to her puppies. The book accompanied by pictures of the current Buck performs the actions described in the book, this metanarrative The appearance more interesting than the film, which otherwise does not offer anything new to the genre dellavventura family from the good feelings.
