The story here is that this is a French film telling a semi-biographical story of a Chinese student during Mao's cultural revolution (1967 I believe) who is sent to teach among remote Mongolian nomads. Said student is fascinated by the nomad's long-standing enemy, the wolf, and decides to capture and raise a pup of his own. I would like to say that hilarity and hi-jinks then ensue, but no, the pup becomes increasingly ungovernable and it appears that further drama unfolds. No doubt it is a decent movie, but what really jumps out at me is the cinematography involving Mongolia's dramatic landscape together with close-up action shots of wolves.
