Roman, a young man from Bucharest, comes to the countryside near the border with Ukraine with the firm intention to sell the vast but desolate land he inherited from his grandfather. He is warned by old man Hogas, the local cop, that his grandfather was a local crime lord and his “boys”, led by the charismatic and cruel Samir, will not let go of the land – and their smuggling business – without a fight. Roman doesn't give up and the three men clash in a triangle of violence.

Bogdan Mirică

By 2007 Bogdan Mirică had a successfully published novel and was an accomplished advertising man. That’s when his burning interest in cinema lead him to study screenwriting at the University of Westminster, London.

Working as a screenwriter for other directors frustrated him enough that in 2011 Bogdan wrote and directed his first short film, Bora Bora. The film went on to win the Best European Short Film in Premiers Plans (Angers, France), the Best Romanian Short at the Transylvania IFF and was selected by many festivals, including Locarno, Warsaw and Thessaloniki, among others.

More recently he was commissioned by HBO Europe to write and co-direct Umbre (Shadows), a TV series dealing with the Romanian underworld. Following its success a second season has already been approved.

Dogs, Bogdan’s debut feature, is a highly personal project which stems from real events that he witnessed as a child living in rural Romania.
