A man released from jail returns to his hometown and strikes up an unlikely connection with a Black Dog turning the page in life.

On the edge of the Gobi Desert in Northwest China, Lang returns to his hometown after being released from jail.

While working for the local stray dog patrol team, clearing the town before the 2008 Olympic Games, he strikes up an unlikely connection with a black Jack Russell-Greyhound cross.

These two lonely souls now embark on a new journey together.

Black Dog wins top Un Certain Regard Award at Cannes Film Festival. The lead canine, Xiao Xin, a Jack Russell-Greyhound cross, received the Grand Jury Prize at the Palm Dog Award.

 

‘Achieving a delicate balance between drama and deadpan comedy, Guan’s approach gives the scenes of violence or tragedy a certain antic’ – Variety
