A woman has a strange encounter on her way to work: she finds herself gazing into a wild pair of eyes, and it seems that her entire life hitherto has been a joke. She can’t forget that instant and becomes a hunter who indeed finally manages to lock a wild wolf in her high-rise apartment. Now she herself begins to assume a new identity, one that breaks with all the fetters of bourgeois life… Wild premiered in competition at Sundance and then was presented in many international film festivals, including Rotterdam, Gothenburg, and BFI London.
“We’re born wild and part of us always wants to remain wild … I’m referring to the voice within us – the one that’s irrational, outrageous and instinctive. The part of us that wants to be free. But how free are we allowed to be really? You spend your days doing things that pay the bills but, in truth, mean nothing to you. Wealth, security, recognition – until you’ve totally forgotten what it is you really need.” (N. Krebitz)
