When twenty-something office drone Ania‘s (Stanenberg) boss Boris (Friedrich) tells her that “With a little effort, you could be quite something,” his thoughtless comment is nevertheless surprisingly prescient. Ania will indeed make an effort to be something, though what she becomes will horrify those who know her. Having spent much of her life caring for others, Ania has had little time to figure out who she wants to be. Aimless and introverted, she seems entirely apathetic, until the day she encounters a wolf in the woods near her home. Gradually, and with growing intensity, the need to establish a bond with the wolf comes to dominate Ania’s life. Her eventual co-habitation with the wild animal prompts Ania to reject societal norms and embrace an anarchic side that may have existed in her all along. Reinhold Vorschneider’s haunting cinematography and Sylvester Koziolek’s suitably bleak, art direction emphasize the disparity between Ania’s banal professional and personal lives and the liberating chaos she experiences with her lupine companion. Krebitz’s film is a provocative, daring, and decidedly dark modern fairy tale that challenges viewers‘ notions conformity.
