Stray Dog
The film is based on the book Até o dia em que o cao morreu, the debut of Daniel Galera, recognised by critics as one of the greatest Brazilian authors of the young generation. Stray dog is a study of love, relationships and an intimate, colourful portrait of a generation. The film is about the meeting of Ciro, who has just graduated from literature department and is now going through an existential crisis, because he has no plans for the future, and Marcela, an ambitious model, just beginning her career, who is obsessed with her work and leaves her dreams unrealised. Ciro and Marcela fall in love, and begin to share their dreams and problems.
