About This Movie

Like A Dog dives into the solitude of a young man in Tehran, where his love for stray dogs becomes a poignant metaphor for connection and compassion. The film carries a raw, unfiltered atmosphere, really immersing you in the gritty reality of life on the fringes. The pacing is deliberate, letting the emotional beats breathe, especially as the young man encounters a woman with her own burdens.
