2019 SPACE DOGS

A pack of strays - seven dogs and one woman - live in the shadows of the city of Moscow. Hidden from the totalitarian authorities, two species share an existence on the brink of disappearance. They roam through a wild landscape in constant restlessness. Shot from the perspective of the animals, the patterns of mutual dependence and taming begin to dissolve.
