Carla Braga is a wildlife photographer who has spent six years documenting predator behaviour in remote wilderness — and quietly using those assignments to run from a violent relationship she escaped but never truly left. When a solo expedition in the Alentejo backcountry goes wrong and she is stranded with an injury and no signal, the film becomes two parallel survival stories: the physical one, unfolding across harsh terrain, and the psychological one — the memories she can no longer outrun when there is nowhere left to go. Shot on location in Portugal's interior, Feral Season is about a woman who is better at surviving in the wild than in the world she came from, and the reckoning that arrives when both become the same place.
