The film is released ... the "problem" is that it seems to be only part of a touring spectacle (with a limited schedule), in which the director also puts on a concert with a group. I do remember reading though that it played on a local TV channel in Rennes, France so maybe that should give us some hope of it popping up somewhere. I'd like to go to one of the shows in May or September since I live in France:

Although planning a trip from Provence to western France is probably only slightly less of a hassle than from North America!

The history of the ferret's domestication is uncertain, like that of most other domestic animals, but it is likely that ferrets have been domesticated for at least 2,500 years. They are still used for hunting rabbits in some parts of the world today, but increasingly they are being kept simply as pets.

@thrip Being so closely related to polecats, ferrets are quite easily able to hybridize with them, and this has occasionally resulted in feral colonies of ferret-polecat hybrids that have been perceived to have caused damage to native fauna, perhaps most notably in New Zealand. As a result, some parts of the world have imposed restrictions on the keeping of ferrets. Let's hope that France's "new policies" will not impose any restrictions on the ferrets, I understand they're quite content in their habitat.

Seriously, thanks for the heads up on this Scot, this is long overdue in my humble opinion.
