In a terrifying Portuguese village, there is a legend - the legend of the wolf child. Desired and born on a full moon night, it all started when a young peasant girl, desperate for a child, asked a creature of the forest for a wish. The desire? A child she could call hers. But the forest creature curses the woman. When fully grown, the child will bring teeth and blood to the village. Years pass, the child becomes a man, tormented and persecuted by the villagers, torn between his animalistic nature and a friendship with a young witch. The boy has to discover who, or what, he is. Together, the wolf child and the witch will try to break the curse and find their place in the world. 16 years after "Coisa Ruim", Frederico Serra returns to the legends and traditions of deep Portugal.
