Zhanna is a foreign correspondent for Russian TV, covering major events in Western countries from a perspective close to the Kremlin. Alice, her pro-Western teenage daughter, criticizes her mother’s work, calling it mere propaganda.
In an attempt to bridge the distance between them, Zhanna decides to take Alice back to her homeland. Thus begins a journey through Putin’s Russia, four summers and one winter spent among cities, villages, and memories, in search of connection, belonging, and truth. A Little Grey Wolf Will Come is a powerful story of love, an intimate portrait of memory, and a reflection on the fragile balance between what we defend and what we truly choose to see.
