About This Movie

Sarna is this fascinating documentary that offers a unique perspective on Guatemala City. It’s all through the eyes of stray dogs, which you don’t see often in film. The tone is both somber and tender, exploring the harsh realities of life on the streets while also finding pockets of warmth and connection. The pacing feels organic, almost like a slow meander through the city that mirrors the dogs’ own wandering. The cinematography captures the grit and beauty of the urban landscape, and the way the dogs interact with their surroundings feels so real. It’s distinct in its focus on these often-overlooked animals and their stories, making it a poignant reflection on survival and companionship in a bustling world.
