Wild Dogs (The) [Seats 3A and 3C, Film 2]
|
Set in the hauntingly beautiful city of Bucharest during a cull of stray dogs, The Wild Dogs weaves together a week in the lives of several of the city’s residents and visitors. Geordie, a visiting Canadian pornographer, Bogdan, a reluctant city dog-catcher, and Nathalie, the lonely wife of a diplomat, each risks losing everything as they become embroiled in the struggles of Bucharest’s abandoned children, gypsies, dogs and beggars.
