The Feast of the Wolf

Description

The film begins in a remote village in the Croatian-Dalmatian hinterland, where Ana, a dedicated veterinarian, faces skepticism from local residents regarding the return of wolves to their area. Despite the proximity of popular tourist destinations along the Adriatic coast, the people of Bukovica harbor fears that the wolves are being transported by helicopter as part of a nefarious plot orchestrated by "Brussels." Ana attempts to refute these theories by engaging with the community and providing evidence about the wolves' natural behavior and ecological significance. As the documentary unfolds, the focus shifts to the broader implications of wildlife restoration and the challenges faced by rural communities in adapting to change. Ana's efforts highlight the tension between local beliefs and scientific understanding, as she works to foster dialogue and build trust among the villagers. The film examines the intersection of human and animal coexistence, culminating in a community meeting where residents voice their concerns and hopes for the future.
