Film Synopsis
In 1969, Chen Zhen, a young student from Peking, is sent to Inner
Mongolia to educate a tribe of nomad herders. It is Chen who has
the most to learn in this inhospitable wild expanse of nature, not only
from the herders, but also from the creature they most venerate, the
wolf. It isn't long before Chen becomes fascinated by the
mysterious bond that connects these sacred animals and the nomadic
tribesmen. But this ancient bond between man and beast is
threatened by the arrival of a man who has been authorised to
exterminate by any means all of the wolves in the
region...
