Following in the tradition of intense Russian drama and with a visual style that is uniquely East European, Wolfy depicts a painful and broken relationship between a mother and daughter. The mother is wild, monstrous and unpredictable, leaving her little girl alone with her grandmother for great stretches of time, the daughter increasingly finds solace and escape through her fertile imagination. Vasili Sigarev’s mesmerising and visually poetic debut is also savage and uncompromising with a towering central performance by Yana Troyanova as the mother. A richly rewarding and moving experience.
