The City and the Dogs
“Why are you staring at me cadet? You want my picture on my bare ass or what?”
Drama
Four angry cadets have formed an inner circle in an attempt to beat the system and ward off the boredom and stifling confinement of the military academy, set off a chain of events that starts with a theft and leads to murder.
VIBE
A raw, unflinching look at the brutalizing effects of institutional conformity. It's a tense, simmering portrayal of youthful rebellion against a suffocating military order, where camaraderie and violence walk hand-in-hand.
