Synopsis
Wolf Totem (狼图腾, 2015) is a Chinese-French adventure drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud and based on Jiang Rong's celebrated novel. It's 1967, and a young Beijing student named Chen Zhen is sent to live among nomadic herders on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia — as far from city life as it's possible to get.
Chen arrives with city-bred assumptions and leaves them behind, one by one. To the Mongolian people, the wolf is not an enemy — it is a force that shapes the entire ecosystem. When outside pressures begin pushing the traditional way of life toward collapse, the student finds himself caught between two worlds, neither of which will wait for him to decide.
Annaud spent three years filming on authentic Mongolian locations, and the landscape earns its place in nearly every frame. Watch Wolf Totem (2015) online on iFILM.
