Dogs

24 - Best Short Documentary Pedro Pío Cuba, 28'

“PERROS” follows the lives of five dogs, from the simplest things like what they eat or where they sleep, to discovering the obsessions of each owner materialized in their pet. Through a dog, you can get to know an owner; through several dogs, you can get to know a social group. Each of the stories has common points: going for a walk, preparing food, the home, which in turn become, throughout the film, the things that differentiate each character. These differences allow us to reflect on a society like Cuba, which, although it does not theoretically assume it, is stratified.
