Egor is a vet at a training facility for hunting dogs in a remote region of Russia. He lives surrounded by foxes, deer, badgers and, of course, dogs. He treats the dogs but also oversees the workers and meets with clients and their dogs. It’s easier for him to get along with dogs than with people. Egor is willing to take on any job to get closer to the facility’s master and his near and dear. He wants the impossible: to become a member of that family. A film for people with strong nerves, this is a story showing the inner world of a present-day Mowgli and the consequences of interpreting other people’s worldview and problems through the filter of our own system of values. Winner of the Grand Prix and the award for best actor at the Sochi Russian Film Festival in 2018.
