Stray Dog is an intense street drama about Dante, an Italian Turkish man fighting to survive in a Swiss inner city hotspot, with his dog as his only anchor. Trapped between poverty, crime, and loneliness, he is lured into the drug scene.
Stray Dog is being developed into a feature length film. Their goal is to help establish socially conscious cinema in Swiss German, tackling current issues with moments of humour.
