Director: Gustavo Hernández
A clerical error undoes years of a detective's work in Ferocious Wolf: the case against a man suspected in a child's death collapses on a technicality, and the suspect walks free. That failure of the system is where the film actually begins.
What is Ferocious Wolf about?
A detective has spent years building the case against a man believed responsible for a child's death, only to watch it dissolve when a procedural mistake forces his release. Rather than let the file close, the detective turns to the child's mother, and the two form an uneasy alliance built on a shared refusal to accept that the system's failure is the end of the story. Gustavo Hernández frames their pursuit as a slow-burning thriller, tracking how far grief and duty can push two people who have nothing left to lose and no legal path left to take.
Cast & crew
Adriana Ugarte and Javier Gutiérrez anchor the film as the mother and the detective, with Rubén Ochandiano, Juana Acosta, Manuel Vega, Antonio Dechent and Fernando Tejero filling out the supporting cast.
Context & significance
Hernández, the Uruguayan director behind La Casa Muda, brings the same close, tension-first camera work to a co-production spanning Argentina, Spain and Uruguay. The genre here sits closer to a moral thriller than a police procedural — the film spends less time on investigation mechanics and more on what two grieving, furious people are willing to do once the formal system has already failed them once. The pacing favors long, quiet stretches of surveillance and hesitation over shootouts, letting the discomfort of the premise build instead of resolving it quickly.
