- Synopsis
- A vast, snow-covered forest, untouched by human presence. Two men cross it, bags on their backs, cross a frozen river and finally arrive at the peatland, a vast white expanse. For years, Yves the painter and Olivier the photographer have traveled the world, meeting wildlife from one pole to the other, privileged and concerned witnesses to the fragile beauty of the planet. But the two men share a common dream: to see a wolf pack live, grow and spread out. One day, their search leads them to a hideout in no-man's-land between Finland and Russia, a place conducive to a different temporality. "It's not a cabin, it's a hideout... A place where we're going to stay holed up for days and days, nights and nights, whatever the weather. It's as if we wanted to put ourselves in some kind of cage or prison. And they're the ones who'll come out when they want to, if they want to show themselves... or not." The wait begins. Over the seasons, they will stand there in these eight square meters of wood, silent in the midst of an unchanging scenery, until they gradually become part of the "picture" and immerse themselves in the life of the wolves. A motionless adventure..
