SYNOPSIS 'Can you smell that?' The camera goes deep into the forests of Galicia and Portugal, among the whispers, tracking images and absences of Iberian wolves. This film essay navigates a relational history, laden with submission and extermination, and confronts an audiovisual history made of images-simulacrum of the natural wild.
Salvaxe, salvaxe is a nature anti-documentary: wolves look back at the camera, terrified, and humans howl. All of us creatures leave traces in this careful dance of the tracked trackers.
