The wolf is a symbol of mankind's loneliness. A wolf is sighted near Berlin in winter. It appears again and again and crosses the paths of various protagonists, all of whom are in search of a little bit of happiness: two young runaways fleeing from their mother's blows, a young Pole longing for his homeland, a young journalist who is supposed to report on the wolf, and many other characters.
