Two Brothers (2004), directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud (Seven years in Tibet, The Bear, The Lover, The Name of the Rose).

The poignant story of two wonderful infant tiger cubs, separated from their parents and each other by human wickedness and then saved by human pity.

I cried my ass off!

I strongly recommend it to all feline lovers.
