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.
A film-metaphor about dreams, flight and freedom.
The plot of the film is based on real events that took place in Orphanage No. 4. A Korean plane crashed on the territory of Kazakhstan, and four Korean children ended up in a Kazakh orphanage.

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?
