Wolves

Black metal, leather jackets, and blind love in a sharp Swiss debut about a girl’s encounter with a dark world

Luana, 23-year-oldwoman of few words works at a kindergarten and longs to break free from her monotonous routine. When her cousin invites her to a rehearsal with his black metal band, Wolves, she finds her place in the group and falls for the mysterious singer, Wiktor. Increasingly drawn into his world, she ignores the warning signs while tensions within the band rise. Director Jonas Ulrich throws us straight into the underground music scene in a story about the naivety of love and the courage to speak out when dirty truths surface.
