Wolf examines human failure to co-exist with large predators whose absence have had a fundamental impact on the ecology of the Scottish landscape. The film reflects on relationships between humans and animals and the consequences of fear and prejudice.

The film is collaboration between Dalziel + Scullion with music by Aidan O’Rourke and the narration written by Robin Lloyd-Jones.
