Synopsis:
At a peak among rocky ranges, there is a village called Pitões das Junias. For centuries, shepherds have encountered wolves and created stories about them. The things they tell might or might not have happened, but the stories are inspired by the constant fighting between man and wolf, as well as man´s fear of the unknown in the wild.
