The Bear on 6ter: Youk and Kaar star in Jean-Jacques Annaud's film

In The Bear, the survival of an orphaned cub serves as the backbone of an adventure tale set in the Canadian mountains. 6ter will broadcast Jean-Jacques Annaud’s film Tuesday, November 3, 2026 at 9:10 p.m.. Released in 1988, this feature follows two animals threatened by hunters.

After his mother dies in a landslide, Youk is left to fend for himself. His encounter with Kaar, a towering solitary bear, becomes a lifeline—a protector and a tutor in survival. But the arrival of hunters soon tests this bond.

Written by Gérard Brach and produced by Claude Berri, the film adapts Grizzly King by James Oliver Curwood. The bears are at the heart of the story, while Tchéky Karyo and Jack Wallace play the hunters Tom and Bill. The face-off between the animals and humans is the central tension of the drama.
