Mann tritt Hund

Short Film, Germany 1994

A gripping six-minute film about the dark depths of human nature

What distinguishes a dog from a cat? What happens when a couple in love argues over the last piece of chocolate? This pointed cinematic parable provides answers of striking clarity to these existential questions. Or does “Man Kicks Dog” actually just tell the story of a disastrous date and a dog whose fate turns out even worse?
