The Hunter

Storyline

When a hunter kills a sacred animal, nature turns against him. His shot at the holy deer seals his fate. Nature strikes back ruthlessly: rockslides, pain, terror. Wounded and cornered, he locks eyes with a wolf—his reflection in this deadly game of survival. A wordless fable about spiritual death and rebirth through renouncing violence.
