      The paper discusses the structure of complex Finsler manifolds when the Finsler metric has the property of the Kobayashi metric on a convex domain: real geodesics locally extend to complex curves (extremal disks). This property of the Finsler metric induces a complex foliation of the cotangent space closely related to geodesics and each geodesic of the metric has a unique extension to a maximal totally geodesic complex curve with the properties of extremal disks. Furthermore a theorem of Faran is recovered [\textit{J. J. Faran}, J. Differ. Geom. 31, No. 3, 601-625 (1990; Zbl 0709.53020)].
