Film Synopsis
Teenager Lili fights to protect her dog Hagen. She is devastated when her father eventually sets Hagen free on the streets. Innocently believing love can conquer any difficulty, Lili sets out to find her dog and save him.
Mixed-breed dog Hagen and his 13-year old guardian, Lili (Zsófia Psotta), move into the home of Lili's estranged father (Sándor Zsótér). Unwilling to pay the harsh "mongrel" fine imposed by the government, her father abandons his daughter’s beloved pet on the street. Determined to find his owner again, Hagen attracts a pack of unwanted, unloved, and so-called “mongrel” dogs that form an uprising against their human oppressors. This Hungarian drama won the Prize Un Certain Regard at the Cannes Film Festival.
