Feroz is a 1984 Spanish fantasy film directed by Manuel Gutiérrez Aragón.
Plot
Pablo, a strange young man who lives only on wild berries, one day runs away from home and gets lost in the woods. A psychologist saves him from an attack by wild dogs and tries to help him with his psychological condition. He observes that the dogs become aggressive when they pass by him, as if he were vermin, and that the locals claim he is a savage. The psychologist will fight to help him and uncover the truth. He decides to take the boy to the city and, with the help of a beautiful pianist, educate him. Soon, "Bear" begins to develop tender feelings for her.
