The film is based on the true experience of biologist Farley Mowat. In order to investigate whether arctic wolves would threaten the survival of the deer herd, biologists came to the North Pole alone, and after a short ups and downs, they successfully stationed opposite the wolf den to observe the life of the wolves. The irony is that the arctic wolf not only does not threaten the deer herd, but even the deer are difficult to catch. It is only an expert at catching voles, and the deer...

This film dramatizes the true story of Farley Mowat, when he was sent to the Canadian tundra area to collect evidence of the grievous harm the wolf population was allegedly doing to the caribou herds. In his struggle to survive in that difficult environment he studies the wolves , and realizes that the old beliefs about wolves and their supposed threat are almost totally false. Furthermore, he learns that humans represent a far greater threat to the land, and also to the wolves, a species...

There are very old old discs in the house. When I was packing my things, I accidentally took them out and looked at them.
Placed in the snowy wilderness, the young natural scientist watches the plane disappear beyond the horizon. He seemed so lonely in the whole environment, and after the plane disappeared, the whole world was almost quiet.
The entire film creates a desolate environment, where the endless snow makes it seem small and insignificant. Then, when spring arrives,...

Very good documentary. The protagonist lived alone in the polar regions for almost a year, came to the conclusion that wolves were not the culprits of destroying nature, and was angry at the sudden appearance of hunters. Several scenes are like dreams. Are there really Inuit people? Did he really run naked among deer and...

Tyler: In the end there were no simple answers. No heroes or villains; only silence.

[final line]
Tyler: [narrating] I believe the wolves went off to a wild and distant place somewhere, although I don't really know... because I turned away, and didn't watch them go.

Tyler: [Opening lines: on the train, giving voice-over narration] I just jumped at the opportunity to go. Without even thinking about it, really. Because it opened the way to an old - and very naïve - childhood fantasy of mine: to go off into the wilderness, and test myself against all the dangerous things lurking there. And to find that basic animal that I secretly hoped was hidden somewhere inside myself. I imagined, at that point, I'd become a new man, with a strength and courage I'd never known before.
Tyler: [Continuing his voice-over narration, with rugged Canadian wilderness rolling by] As I traveled north, it was on about the 3rd day that the reality of what I was about to try to do began to seep into my bones... and gather in a knot in the pit of my stomach.
Tyler: [Continuing his voice-over narration, now sitting by a railroad siding, with a huge mound of his expedition supplies piled up nearby] Then I finally reached the end of the line: Nootsak. The sheer bulk of the supplies the Department sent along set me back. Because I had to get not only myself, but all this stuff, another 300 miles into the wilderness.
