The Wolf
Волк
A children's camp in the remote woods. Enjoying nature, hiking, roasting potatoes over a campfire, pesky mosquitoes... For several days, teenagers are cut off from civilization, gadgets, and society.
Two classmates — the class outcast Jorg and the loner Kemi — become cabin mates. Jorg, a withdrawn and quiet boy, is subjected to mockery, humiliation, and various forms of bullying by several classmates. His cabin mate silently observes the bullying, fearing he might become a victim himself. When the situation escalates, a wolf appears out of nowhere. Could it be a nightmare? Or is it a call to confront the nightmare in reality and show courage — for oneself and others?
