Plot

The protagonist, a young woman named Ania, lives in seclusion in a prefabricated housing estate in Halle-Neustadt. At her job as an IT specialist in an advertising agency, she is harassed by her tyrannical boss Boris, who at the same time is attracted to her. One day, on her way home from work, Ania meets a wolf in a park. The encounter with the wild animal triggers a strong attraction to Ania. Her thoughts are increasingly circling around the wolf, which she is trying to approach by crying about him at night, buying meat or even living rabbits for food. She decides to bring the wolf to her; In fact, she manages to numb the animal and bring it to her apartment. While she neglects her interpersonal contacts - to colleagues but also to her sister - Ania starts to live out her instincts. She looks increasingly neglected to the outside, but also self-confident and sexually free. This reflects the gradually more intense and more familiar relationship with the wolf, with whom she actually lives together now. She starts a kind of love affair with the animal.[2][3][4] Finally, there is the final break with Boris and her work in the agency; At last, Ania even breaks completely into the wilderness with the wolf.
