One of Europe’s largest deer farms lies hidden in the hills of southern Hungary and is home to more than 1,500 strong red deer. The animals are essentially still wild. They were first caught in the forests and brought to the farm only 25 years ago.
This poetic, highly sensorial film is both an immersive experience and a close look at human-animal relations as well as the way we co-exist with nature. The film loosely follows the beating rhythms transcending the farm: from the deer to the farmers to the electric fences separating the domesticated animals from the wild.

“When stags are kept in captivity the borderline between autonomy and servitude runs through every single individual animal. With PULSE, Danish filmmaker Robin Petré has produced an entrancingly beautiful work and an astute reflection on the history and present state of this kind of animal husbandry.”
