Storyline

A poetic journey into the tension between nature and civilization, to where the wild still exists, is being tamed, or is unfolding in new forms: German predator trainer Carmen Zander, WWF gamekeeper Pavel Fomenko, and Mexican body artist María José Cristerna explore the wild through very different lifestyles. Set between Leipzig, the Russian taiga, and Guadalajara, Mexico, the essayistic documentary, in striking, poetic images, poses various questions about alienation, control, and freedom—and in which moments the wild, untamed within ourselves can still reveal itself when, at the same time, we are increasingly losing touch with nature.
