From the director of Martin Eden, this heart-racing, one-of-a-kind love story interweaves documentary and fiction to portray the romance between a tough guy ex-con and his lover, a transgender woman and recovering heroin addict who has waited 10 years for his release from prison. Set against the crumbling splendor of the Italian port city of Genoa—which becomes a character unto itself—The Mouth of the Wolf is a stirring essay on human connection and its aching absence.
