Mongolia's mining boom is reshaping one of the last nomadic ways of life on earth, and this film follows Purevjav, an aging hunter whose herd and traditions are colliding with a fast-changing economy. Tempted by the money a wolf pelt can fetch, he captures a litter of wolf cubs to raise for their fur, a decision that puts him at odds with the unwritten rules governing how his people are meant to treat the animals around them. Cameras stay close as he wrestles with what he has done, tracking the moment he decides to reverse it. Around his story, the film shows the wider pressures on Mongolia's herders: new mines, new wealth, and a generation deciding whether to stay on the steppe or chase the cities. The wolf, long treated as both threat and sacred boundary marker in Mongolian herding culture, becomes the film's clearest measure of how much is being renegotiated between people and the land they have lived on for centuries.
