Synopsis

Wilfred, a young boy who loves order, believes he owns a moose named Marcel. He sets rules for Marcel, who follows some but not all. Their friendship is tested when others claim Marcel as their own. Through this, Wilfred learns about the nature of ownership and friendship, realising that perhaps Marcel was never truly his. This charming tale explores themes of possession and the bonds between humans and animals.
