One day he is on a tiger hunt when a big cat attacks his friend's son. Ava tries to shoot the tiger but accidentally kills the boy instead. Thinking he's accused of murder, he flees civilization, and eventually adapts to life among these same tigers. Boris (Herbert Nelson) , knows that his son's death was an accident, and tries to find Avakum and tell him he's innocent and should came back to the village. In the year that follows, Ava survives the harsh Siberian winter and finds himself at home beyond civilized life, to the point where when Boris finally does find him, it is a very touching goodbye, since the two old friends have drifted apart and have to remain in their separate worlds.

Also known as WHEN THE NORTH WIND BLOWS. CAST includeds Henry Brandon, Herbert Nelson, Dan Haggerty, Dale Ishimoto, Henry Olek, Rex Holman, Jack Ong, Jan Smithers. VIEWER COMMENT : "10 out of 10! Totally my favourite film of all time! Now my video is old, I'm starting to worry that I may not be able to enjoy the delights of this movie for much longer. As a wildlife film it is superb. As a film about the relationship between man and nature it surpasses anything screened before or since. How can the film industry allow such a classic to go unnoticed and forgotten? My guess is there's a mint to be made by anyone owning this VCI Command Performance tape in today's market".
