A boy goes missing in the snow covered wilderness, feared taken by wolves. A hunter undertakes a journey to find the boy; dead or alive. As the hunter tracks the boy into the mountains, he discovers that his instincts can no longer be trusted. Here, far from civilization he must make decisions that will forever change his relationship with the wilderness he has always feared. THE HUNTER is a haunting stop motion sand animation by emerging director Marieka Walsh.
