The film is presented as a parable on fear. It is the story of the absence of love in the relations between a mother and her daughter which for a time understand each other, united by fear in front of the story invented by the mother of a wolf who eats humans. On a philosophical level it is a reflection on the lost purity of thoughts, purity which is the first condition for the harmony of human existence. It is also the illustration of the proverb: "the sleep of reason generates monsters".
