Believing he is a wolf trapped in a human body, Jacob eats, sleeps, and lives like a wolf. Desperate for help, his family sends him to a remote facility that specialises in the treatment of species dysphoria. At the True You clinic, and under the watchful eyes of Dr. Mann and Dr. Angeli, Jacob and his animal-bound peers are forced to undergo increasingly extreme forms of ‘curative’ therapies. However, once he meets the mysterious Wildcat, and as their friendship blossoms into an undeniable infatuation, Jacob is faced with a challenge: will he renounce his true self for love? From acclaimed filmmaker Nathalie Biancheri (Nocturnal) comes a fascinating exploration of identity, self-acceptance and the lengths we’ll go to for love.
 
“Wolf is a film which deals with a highly psychologically complex condition, all while managing to weave in an ill-fated love story and a host of nuanced characters with tremendous skill” Film Ireland
