Im Jahr des Hundes

In the Year of the Dog

In the Year of the Dog tells about dogs in China, and of dogs belonging to the people, and of people belonging to the society. Entertaining and informative, colorful and bizarre, critical and sad. A film about animal love and animal death, rituals and superstitions. Above all, a film about current affairs, about winning and losing. Of the people. And the dogs. We plunge, for a day or an entire year, into the middle of different living situations, and discover just how similar our lives are. And, finally, how different.
