A couple makes the painful decision to send their young daughter away, and the child is raised by a pack of wolves. The story follows that separation and the unusual life that grows out of it, turning a simple premise into a compact, emotional fable. In just a few minutes, the film traces the distance between human home and wild instinct.
The film was made in the United States and runs five minutes. It was released in 2013. The story centers on the parents who let the child go and on the girl herself as she adapts to the wolves around her, with the film’s action shaped by that stark choice. Its short form leaves room for the situation to speak for itself rather than expanding into a larger world.
Set between domestic life and the forest, the film moves through a space where care, loss and survival overlap. The tone is spare and wistful, with the animal setting giving the story a fable-like quality. It suggests a world in which belonging is fragile and identity is shaped as much by the environment as by family.
