Today, indifference to each other, devaluation of the other person's personality have become, unfortunately, the norm of life. The habit of ignoring the desires and aspirations of another person, not even allowing the thought of their existence, leads to cruel, and sometimes criminal actions. Understanding that each person is a unique universe, a unique world, could save humanity from many tragic events. Humanity can be saved, but does it want to?

A film-metaphor about dreams, flight and freedom.

Chechnya, February 1944. A Wolf kills one of the sheep owned by two poor brothers who then start hunting the animal. They run, jump and sneak through the lonely snow-covered countryside. Biting cold, danger and toil everywhere. People do not live in this winterly realm, they survive; sometimes by mere chance: While they are away hunting the wolf, the two brothers evade the deportation of their entire village by Soviet authorities, accompanied by many casualties. Again, they follow a trail - only instead of a wolf’s trail, they now follow one of footsteps and blood. The hostile mountains and dangerous nature, which seem to hold no love for men, suddenly appear in a different light: It is man himself who holds the least love for his fellow human beings.
