Even though it returned to Germany more than 20 years ago, the wolf polarises people like hardly any other animal. With this documentary, actor and environmentalist Hannes Jaenicke wants to introduce more objectivity into an emotionally charged debate. He shows that the wolf is a wild animal like any other and considers the motivation of both animal rights activists, who want to give the wolf the space to live, and farmers, who see the predator as a threat to their livestock.
