Synopsis

A blend of film and animation, “The Wound and the Gift” explores the complicated relationship between humans and animals. Taking its title from an ancient fable, in which a wounded crane rewards the peasant who help it with a special gift, the film argues that humans and animal are emotional equals. As evidence, it explores the pet rescue movement and suggests that those giving animals aid are given aid in return.
