Werner Freund has spent three decades raising wolves at his sanctuary in Merzig, Germany, walking among packs he has bottle-fed since birth and treating them, by his own account, as one of the animals rather than as their owner. The film follows him inside enclosures where he play-fights with adult wolves, reads their body language, and explains how he earned a place in the pack hierarchy through submission rituals rather than dominance. Cameras capture feeding time, howling sessions that Freund joins in on, and the delicate process of introducing new cubs to established animals without triggering aggression. Interviews with Freund lay out what thirty years of close contact taught him about wolf behavior, pack structure, and the risks of the work, including injuries he has sustained along the way. The result is a close, unguarded look at an unusual life built around an animal most people only encounter through fear or folklore, and at what it costs to be accepted by a species that never fully domesticates.
