석탄 광산이 있는 펜실베이니아 동부, 삶에 대한 의지와 희망이 없는 완다는 남편을 떠나 언니네 집 소파에서 지낸다. 완다는 이혼 과정에서 두 아이도 포기해 버렸다. 일자리는 쉽게 구할 수 없었고, 완다는 처음 본 남자와 하룻밤을 보낸다. 그러다 극장에서 잠들고 소매치기까지 당한 완다는 술집에서 노먼을 만나게 된다. 이후 그녀의 인생에 변화가 생기기 시작하는데... 바바라 로든이 세상에 남긴 유일무이한 장편 연출작. 길거리를 떠돌다 은행강도 사건에 휘말리는 한 여성의 실화를 각색한 작품으로 완성이 되기까지 11년의 세월이 걸렸다. 베니스 영화제, 칸 영화제에 초청되며 평단의 주목을 받았지만 반영웅적 캐릭터와 관습을 벗어난 이야기로 당시 관객들에게 불편한 영화가 되었다. 진취적인 여성상을 제시하거나 교훈을 주거나 카타르시스를 선사하는 영화가 아니었기 때문이다. 이 작품은 가부장제 속 사회가 허용하는 여성의 역할을 수행하지 않을 시 하나의 독립적 존재로 살아가기 힘든 여성들의 실존적 불안을 들추어낸다. 로든이 사망한 후 더욱 활발히 논의되고 있는 이 영화는 오늘날 1970년대 제작된 최고의 미국 독립 영화 중 한 편으로 손꼽힌다.

It's an experiment in human behavior. It's an exploration of the most natural of animal impulses. It's something new under the moon. And it bites. When security dispatcher Aaron Scates is blinded in an explosion, he's put in the care of Dr. Andrea Hewlitt, famous in her field for spearheading extraordinary-though controversial-medical breakthroughs. Her newest is cross-species organ transplants, and Aaron is her first human subject. When a severely wounded wolf is brought to Dr. Hewlitt's office by museum curator Lydia Armstrong, Dr. Hewlitt leaps on the opportunity and successfully transplants the wolf's eyes to Aaron-despite Lydia's objections. Aaron, however, is thrilled. Not only can he see again, he can see in the dark. He also has an unusually acute sense of hearing, and tears into a raw steak like never before. Unfortunately, he also tends growl, and to target people as prey.
