Akira, who used to travel around the world as a sailor, is now a hunter in a village where wolves disappeared 100 years ago. After he overspends community money on his obsessive hunts, his colleagues spurn him. In a solitude, he complicates his love for a woman, who he met in Cuba when he was a sailor, and his obsession with a wolf after losing his job and friends. His imagination spreads endlessly, like Yoshino forest, and he decides to go into the deep forest to kill a wolf as he is possessed to believe that a wolf is a spirit of Higashi Yoshino in Nara prefecture.
