Synopsis

A wolf wanders the woods on the edge of a small village. Jakob, a young police officer, is tracking him, but senses something more in the darkness. He comes across a man, or something akin to a man, with a wild gaze and a wiry body. He wears a dress and wields a Katana – a Japanese sword. This film creates a unique atmosphere in a world of blood and chilling visuals.
