Opening Gala: Dogman

Constructed like a puzzle, the film pieces together the tragic fate of Doug, a young man who, in his childhood, was thrown by his abusive father into the cage of fighting dogs he trained. Instead of tearing him apart, they become his family. Years later, he commits burglaries in the apartments of wealthy people, aided by an army of canine companions he calls his "children," and performs in a cabaret club.
