Thriller/action, FR/US, 2023, 114 min, FSK 16
As a child, introverted Doug (Lincoln Powell) is repeatedly abused by his brutal father (Clemens Schick) and his older brother (Adam Speers). Eventually, the tyrannical old man even locks the boy in a huge kennel with his extremely aggressive, deliberately malnourished fighting dogs. Instead of tearing the boy to pieces, however, the four-legged friends become his friends, help him to survive and eventually even escape. Still scarred by the abuse, Doug (now: Caleb Landry Jones), now an adult and mostly in a wheelchair, tries to build a life for himself. He limits human contact to the absolute minimum. He runs a home for abandoned dogs all by himself. In order to maintain it, the man and his highly intelligent protégés, which he has trained to the best of his ability, become jewel thieves.
