In a zoo, the eyes of a young child and an old, one-eyed wolf meet. Through the eyes of the wolf, his life story unfolds: a wild existence in the pristine Alaskan wilderness, as a member of an endangered species struggling with the consequences of human influence. Simultaneously, we catch a glimpse of the child's world, a young African who has traveled throughout Africa to survive. He possesses a special gift; he can tell stories that bring both joy and hope.
