<P> The film opens with an unspecified year but appears to be in the 1920s . Although based on the rifle Martinón uses , a German Karabiner 98k , its no earlier than 1935 . The local towns people do not appear to have all the modern comforts of the era with exception of electricity . The main character Martinon is a huntsman who lives a life of solitude completely without modern day comforts high on a mountain top in an abandoned town . Martinon 's life is that of `` hard - living '' . The terrain near Martinon 's home is rocky with steep hills , which are surrounded by a dense forest filled with wild life . Martinon 's daily routine consists of maintaining the land in front of his house , tending to his goats and hunting for wolves so that he can trade their skins . All this is done through the harsh bitter cold mountain weather . Martinon 's physical appearance , tall muscular with shaggy hair and a busy beard , intimidates those he encounters . Occasionally , Martinon will make the two day journey down the mountain to the local town to sell the wolf skins he harvested . </P>
