One night, a lone wolf forgets his fear of humanity and gives in to his curiosity. He comes down from the mountain and strolls through the heart of the village, whose occupants are busy celebrating Christmas. He meets a girl who has been abandoned on a cold winter's night. As they help each other they manage to overcome their respective problems.
