Wild Life

Vie Sauvage (Wild Life, 2014) is a French-Belgian drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Cédric Kahn's story follows Philippe — played by Mathieu Kassovitz — a father who defied a custody ruling and took his two sons into the wilderness rather than hand them back to their mother.

Named Okyesa and Tsali, the boys grow up moving through forests and mountains, always ahead of the police. No school, no fixed home — just their father's absolute certainty that the court was wrong. Céline Sallette plays the mother left behind.

The film is rooted in a real French case that stirred national debate. Kahn refuses to rule on who was right — he simply keeps the camera close as a man's convictions gradually shape two young lives. Whether that reads as devotion or damage, the film doesn't decide. Stream Wild Life (2014) on iFILM.
