On a journey with wolves

Why do wolves generate a feeling both of fear and fascination? Do the wolf and human communities have something in common? Can a peaceful co-habitation exist between the two? Some decades ago, in Italy, these fierce predators were almost extinct, hunted by men and branded with tales and preconceptions. In recent years, a newfound environmental awareness and conservation laws have allowed wolves to reconquer their ancient territories, re-colonizing the Appennine Range and parts of the Alps. A journey that will shed light on the complex society of wolves through anecdotes, original videos, short readings and music, providing the audience with a better understanding of these animals and attempting to answer the question of whether, by looking into the eyes of a wolf, we may actually see ourselves.
