FREE SOULS – A Call from the North

Lisa is a musher who has devoted her life to her dogs. What began as a childhood fascination with snow and adventure gradually became a life choice built on care, sacrifice, and trust. As she prepares for a 200-kilometer race in the North, an old back injury resurfaces, forcing her to confront fear and uncertainty. Far from home, amid unforeseen challenges and extreme conditions, Lisa faces a conflict greater than the competition itself: protect her dogs or push beyond her own limits.Through training sessions, snowy silences, and moments of doubt, the journey becomes a reflection on the boundary between ambition and responsibility. How far can one go when responsibility weighs more than ambition?

A hundred years after the historic Serum Run to Alaska, made famous by Balto, ANIME LIBERE – The Call of the North revisits this century-old tradition through an intimate and contemporary perspective, focusing on memory, endurance, and the bond between human and dog.

ANIME LIBERE – The Call of the North is an intimate portrait of resilience and the profound bond between human and animal, where freedom is not escape, but a conscious choice.
