(The Year of the Hedgehog/2009) A hedgehog is awakening from its winter sleep heading into the light of a new year, having only two things in mind: food and finding a partner. The hedgehog is not only part of the oldest mammal species on our planet, newer findings disclose that it will stay among us for many years to come. Neither the massive destruction of natural habitats nor the horrendous road kill can seriously endanger its population. This documentary accompanies the hedgehog for a year.
