Wolf Totem depicts the dying culture of the Mongols- the ancestors of the Mongol hordes who at one time terrorized the world- and the parallel extinction of the animal they believe to be sacred: the fierce and otherworldly Mongolian Wolf.
Searching for spirituality, Beijing intellectual Chen Zhen travels to the pristine grasslands of Inner Mongolia to live among the nomadic Mongols-a proud, brave, and ancient race of people who coexist in perfect harmony with their unspeakably beautiful but cruel natural surroundings. Their philosophy of maintaining a balance with nature is the ground stone of their religion, a kind of cult of the wolf.
