Synopsis

Dogs: submissive and obedient animals. Hogs: dirty and wicked animals. 'Dhogs' is the opera prima of Galician filmmaker Andrés Goteira, and joins the fates of different characters in a controverted story. Crimes don't stop happening in a city which is unable to react, passive, that doesn't get angry at anything. Alex has an adventure with a businessman that chance will end up turning into a spiral of violence that doesn't appear to make any sense. 'Dhogs' is a stifling and claustrophobic independent thriller that walks and destroys the limit between reality and fiction. Goteira's debut is the first movie entirely filmed in Galician that is part of the oficial section of the Sitges Film Festival.
