A film about the stray dogs of Athens and the people who take care of them. Filmmaker Mary Zournazi explores life on the streets through the eyes of the dogs and peoples' experience. Shot on location in Athens, the birthplace of democracy, the documentary is about how Greece has become the 'stray dogs of Europe', and how the dogs have become a symbol of hope for the people and for the anti-austerity movement. A universal story about love and loyalty and what we might learn from animals.
"The director does show viewers something viscerally emblematic about how bad things are in Greece, and how norms can quickly be trampled. Recommended."

"The overall effect captures the presence, vulnerability, and dignity of the people and animals where democracy began."
