Overview Ulvespor

Is it better to be free and starving or fed but restrained?

In the 1860s, famine ravages Finland. Brita Caisa Seipajærvi and Mikkel Aska have fled across the border and settled in a turf hut by Lake Iijærvi with their daughters Marja and Annie. Mikko is skilled in many things, but surviving in the wilderness is not one of them. He fails to set the snares properly. Brita Caisa has to reset them. She cuts bark and bakes bread. The family has barely enough to eat. Hunger does something to the heart, head and body. Mikko wants to return to the coast, where he knows how to fish. But Brita Caisa wants to stay in the forest, where they are free to be a family.

Wolf Tracks is a raw and tender story about facing hardship, hunger and predators. It is the riveting end to Ingeborg Arvola’s epic historical series Ruijan rannalla / Songs from the Arctic Ocean.
