Operation Wolverine (Akcia Rosomák) is an adventurous puppet show proving that the things we fear and do not yet know might not be so scary after all. Young Šimon arrives in the wild woods with his father, initially feeling unsafe. When he gets lost, woodland creatures recruit him into a secret rescue mission to find the source of a terrifying howl echoing through the trees. Šimon must overcome solitude and fear, navigate unfamiliar woods, trust new animal friends and discover why the mysterious Wolverine is angry — learning that problems are solved not by force, but through empathy and understanding.
