Matchless: New York in the 80s! Every animal does its thing and the dog named Dog is friends with a robot. Not just a film, a celebration for all ages.

Life hums, honks and howls in the trendy neighbourhood of the East Village. But Dog is lonely and passes the time watching TV and eating snacks – until he buys himself a robot. Everything is nicer when you’re together, and the summer zips by as if on roller skates. But soon the two have to part ways. Forever? The film, based on a well-known comic book, works perfectly well without dialogues. Its lucid images express themselves through a wealth of tremendous detail and irresistible wit. A story full of twists, a lovingly crafted trip back to the late 20th century and, above all, a moving and delightful homage to the value of friendships.
