About

In 1969, a young Beijing student, Chen Zhen, is sent to live among the nomadic herdsmen of Inner Mongolia. Caught between the advance of civilization from the south and the nomads' traditional enemies - the marauding wolves - to the north; humans and animals, residents and invaders alike, struggle to find their true place in the world.

Chen Zhen must navigate the brutal friction between his urban education and the ancient, predatory laws of the Mongolian steppe. This sweeping epic pits the survival instincts of a wolf pack against the relentless encroachment of modern progress.
