01:00And on Sunday, 12 hours.
01:01So my week has 8 days.
01:04Yours has 7.
01:05What do you do the whole day?
01:06Run around?
01:07Run around, lay down and eat like a pig?
01:11You just called me a pig?
01:14Whatever.
01:16Whatever.
01:30I don't...
01:30I don't know.
01:31I don't know.
01:35I don't know.
02:06What did you just say? I'm getting old. I don't understand things. Maybe I'm getting a little bit old. Short
02:18-tempered. With you. Six. Six. Whatever.
02:46But here in Canada, you know, you have a good life. And you shouldn't take everything for granted.
02:54Sometimes, you know, they respect animals more than humans.
02:58I can tell from your accent that you come from another country. How long ago did you say?
03:04It was about twenty fucking years ago.
03:07Hey! Language! Don't talk to me like that.
03:11Sorry.
03:12Whatever.
03:16Well, it's my years that are passing by. So you wouldn't mind me getting emotional about it once in a
03:22while. Right?
03:26Okay.
03:38Okay.
03:40Okay.
03:43Okay.
03:51Okay.
04:00Okay.
04:03Okay.
04:05Okay.
04:05I'm sorry.
04:06I'll make it up to you.
04:07It's my fault.
04:09I'll treat you today.
04:10Okay.
04:11And, um, we'll be friends again.
04:14Put it.
04:15Right?
04:16You go, boy.
05:08This country is a happy place for the animals.
05:11But just because you are happy, it does not mean that the rest of the world is happy the same.
05:17What do you mean?
05:19There is worse cases than yours out there, my friend.
05:24I will tell you the story of two dogs I knew personally.
05:30The story of the stray dog Romeo and the beautiful circus dog Juliet.
05:38My name is Juliet.
05:40I come from a wealthy family and I do not know what suffering means.
05:45I was born and raised in a circus.
05:50I'm a stray dog.
05:53I like the adventures with females.
05:55That's why they call me Romeo.
05:57I eat whenever I can, drink here and there, in short I don't give a damn.
06:02And now I'm falling in love with Juliet.
06:07It was a regular morning like all the others.
06:09We went out to enjoy the city life but we didn't know what was in store for us.
06:14We never thought our life could take such a turn.
06:19Romeo gets in all my shows half an hour earlier.
06:23She walks out secretly and we roam together around the big city.
06:28I can feel she adores me.
06:31I'm falling in love and I just can't help it.
06:47Good morning.
06:48Did you sleep well?
06:50No, it was terribly cold last night.
06:52Jeez, come on.
06:53What are you doing?
06:54Get up.
06:55Get up.
06:56Come on.
06:57Are you going to join us or not?
06:59Stop being so lazy.
07:00May I bite you a little bit?
07:02Not with your teeth.
07:03Not with that teeth she said.
07:05Mommy, Mommy.
07:06We want the morning story, Mom.
07:07Yeah, yeah.
07:08The morning story.
07:09Which one?
07:10The one about how we became stray dogs.
07:13Yeah, yeah.
07:13Okay.
07:14From all the wild animals, we were the first ones to be tamed.
07:18And not only because we're cute.
07:20Yeah.
07:20Of course not.
07:22But because we've had a glorious past.
07:24And instead of working together to elevate and make ourselves better, we went on fighting
07:30and fighting one another.
07:32So history abandoned us.
07:34And ever since we were called stray dogs.
07:37Oh, my God.
07:37That's so funny.
07:38Exactly.
07:39Because we never heard anyone say stray lawn.
07:40A stray tiger?
07:42Stray lawn.
07:43Shut up.
07:44What I'm going to do with them.
07:46They're so stupid.
07:47What?
08:03What is that?
08:04Is it edible?
08:05Because I'm hungry.
08:06No, baby.
08:08It's a weapon.
08:10It is dangerous.
08:10And it kills.
08:12I don't understand what happened.
08:14They got all these guns and killed one another for a while.
08:17And then they just threw them out in the garbage.
08:19We didn't check today's paper.
08:27There's something about you guys.
08:29About us?
08:30The municipality attacks the pack of the stray dogs.
08:34Oh, my God.
08:34The municipality with the help of the government.
08:37The municipality with the help of government, with a special by-law number this and that,
08:43dated this and that day, has determined to exterminate all stray dogs.
08:50Thus, becoming a source of infections, diseases such as Lashmanosa and more.
08:55The group of city hunters are ready to start the killing.
08:59Along with their hunting guns, they are authorized to use all means.
09:04Beginning with the most primitive ones like axes, butcher knives, knives, pocket knives,
09:11poisons.
09:12Up to the most modern weapons like tasers, electric chairs and intravenous injections,
09:18which are considered less painful executions.
09:21The government has placed 40,000 US dollars on this project.
09:27Every citizen who kills a stray dog and hands over to authorities his pairs of ears,
09:32will be immediately rewarded with 5 American dollars.
09:37The handing over of the fair spares has already begun.
09:42Everyone, run for your life!
09:44They're burning us alive!
09:45For God's sake, why did they start the killing this early?
09:48You don't get it?
09:48All the sins are committed to darkness!
09:54We make a crowd of almost 10,000 creatures!
09:56If all the garbage we swallow, we do the work of 10 garbage collection companies!
10:00Yeah!
10:00We help them and they pay us back by shooting us!
10:03This is such fucking bullshit!
10:05Oh my God!
10:05Sister, this is just pure ingratitude!
10:07Oh, come on!
10:08We stink and we've become a burden and it's just too much to bear!
10:11No one wants to go near us!
10:13We must hide before the matter is cleared up.
10:15Why do they want to kill you? What have they done?
10:17I know! I obviously have been with you this entire time.
10:19What do you mean? What?
10:19You deserve it!
10:20You stink and because of you the whole city stinks!
10:23Go to hell you dirty bastards!
10:25You're pissing me off!
10:26Why don't you shut up and chain yourself tighter?
10:28Yeah!
10:29You don't know any better, do you?
10:31I'd better get myself out of here before I get a straight bullet.
10:33But something doesn't smell right in here.
11:00How beautiful is the city and how much fun it is to wander with no purpose up and down.
11:06I'm learning so many things from Romeo.
11:09The world is a much larger place than the circus tent.
11:15She's so fragile and sincere!
11:17I can't even believe that Juliet, this famous circus beauty, has fallen for someone like me!
11:24Oh, now I have to take care of her.
11:29To feed her and protect her!
11:33You must turn back to the circus tent.
11:35It's safer there for you.
11:36What?
11:36Couldn't they find another solution better than guns?
11:41If I were a house dog, I could have lived a happy life.
11:45Don't worry, Romeo.
11:47I will follow you and we will never separate from each other.
11:50Ever.
12:07Where are you from?
12:08Where are you from?
12:09Where are you from?
12:17Oh my God!
12:17Where are you from?
12:22Where are you from?
12:36Where are you from?
12:38Where are you from?
12:42Where are you from?
12:47OK.
12:47Now, see, that's good.
12:57The action of municipality has been successful.
13:01So far have been killed 7,777 stray dogs.
13:06The number of the damned is being reduced day by day.
13:10The municipality regrets to shed dog's blood, but there is no other way out.
13:14The cleaning list of our city is much more important than the life of some wretched stray dogs.
13:21And let us rejoice at this victory.
13:25After all, they have no right to kill us, brother.
13:29Besides, don't they have international conventions that protect the rights of animals?
13:34Forget about it. They've got conventions for themselves too, but they don't give a shit about going to kill each
13:39other.
13:39Right in the very heart of Europe.
13:41Just for the fun of it.
13:43And you think they'll disturb their sleep for some wretched creatures like us?
13:46Well, they should. Why shouldn't they?
13:47I'm telling you, they don't give a damn about it.
13:50I can't believe it.
13:53Romeo, come. Let's watch some TV. Please.
13:56Alright, baby.
13:57You see the store over there? It's a beauty salon.
14:01Oh.
14:01Now look at that girl. They are dolling her up because she is going to get married.
14:08Really?
14:11Meanwhile, this is a cemetery for dogs.
14:15Oh.
14:17How sad.
14:22Why is she crying like that?
14:24Well, she's lost both her husband and her dog.
14:28What is she saying now?
14:30That she loved her dog more than she loved her husband.
14:33Oh my god.
14:35Everyone's got a problem in this world, I guess.
14:37Mm-hmm.
14:38Poor us.
14:38To be born in this damn place.
14:41Better not to have been born at all.
14:49What's wrong with them?
14:51They're fighting.
14:52With whom?
14:54With themselves.
14:56With each other.
14:57This is horrible.
14:59This is horrible.
15:00What's horrible is getting our daily bread.
15:03And it's not just a day or two.
15:05This is the whole life.
15:07This is really horrible.
15:09Let's get out of the city.
15:11It's impossible to live in here any longer.
15:14What?
15:15Where are we going to go?
15:16How about we staying in this shop over here?
15:18Hopefully someone will buy us and we'll be spared.
15:20Let's listen first to what they're saying.
15:24Hey, get out of there.
15:25That's my food, buddy.
15:26Hey, don't make me come over there.
15:28I'll break your feet.
15:28Get out of here, you rascal.
15:31I took only one piece of grain.
15:33What's wrong with you?
15:35I want to stay in the cage.
15:37Let me out of here.
15:38It's not fair.
15:39I don't like the cage.
15:40I want to get out of here.
15:42Go out.
15:43Go.
15:44But by the time the municipality hunters learn that you're not stray dogs,
15:48your balls are gone.
15:50Boy, those balls.
15:51Am I right?
15:52You're going to be in bang, bang trouble here.
15:56Oh, ready am I?
15:59I'm extremely beautiful.
16:01Very beautiful, girl.
16:02Very beautiful, dear.
16:03Very beautiful.
16:04But you are locked in a cage.
16:07Oh, I wish I could destroy this cage.
16:11I don't.
16:11I'll climb up here.
16:12I'll climb up here.
16:13I'll be happy, dear.
16:15We love to be very much.
16:17I just find a lot of the cows and the cows, you know.
16:20I don't want to die.
16:24I don't understand.
16:26How did these creatures end up like this?
16:28There is a disease that is called the disease of the cage.
16:32Is it contagious?
16:34Let's get out of here.
16:35There are way worse cases and hours out there.
16:41I decided to abandon the circus tent and join my Romeo.
16:46It was hard because I'd spent my childhood over there.
16:50But I've decided to be with him till the end.
16:53It was my destiny.
17:24There is a lie to me.
17:24There is no sign.
18:24There's usually families or some couples in there.
18:30There's nobody there.
18:32It's free.
18:51Oh, yes, baby.
18:56Oh, my God.
18:57I love you very much, Romeo.
18:59I love you too so much.
19:00Oh, my God.
19:01I love you too.
19:01I'm tight.
19:02Oh, my God.
19:04I love you.
19:05Oh, my God.
19:05You're so beautiful.
19:07I love you so much.
19:09Oh, man.
19:10This is horrible.
19:11They won't even let you make love and peace.
19:19Romeo, being that we're here, can we ask them whether they're happy or not?
19:24Fine.
19:25Ask them if you like.
19:28Hey, you down there.
19:32Are you happy?
19:34Shut the fuck up.
19:35What?
19:35What were your voice?
19:36What's going on to you?
19:37Shut up or it's over for us.
19:40Why?
19:41What's happening?
19:42Have you heard the saying, the big fish eats the little one?
19:45Well, that's coming from us.
19:46From down here.
19:48What?
19:49Do you see those two?
19:50These guys over there, rolling around over there.
19:54Yeah, so what?
19:57Well, once they're done, they're going to be hungry.
19:59Guess who's going to be dinner?
20:01Can you live like this?
20:03In such terror and fear for all of your life?
20:06It's a given, buddy.
20:08It's our fate.
20:09Written somewhere in the sands.
20:10Nothing we can do about it.
20:12Let's get out of here.
20:13There are worst cases of theirs out there.
20:37How about going to the zoo?
20:38Are you crazy?
20:39The wild animals will eat us up.
20:42The lion, the tiger, the wolf.
20:44Hold on.
20:45It's true, we weren't able to get along with humans.
20:47But with animals, it's quite different.
20:50They're animals just like us.
20:52We can share with them our misery.
20:54Oh, come on.
20:55Maybe they'll sympathize with us.
21:08God, I hate these iron bars.
21:11I want to get out of here.
21:13I can't stand it anymore.
21:21Oh, sire, lion, king of all animals.
21:23Thank you, my lady queen.
21:25Speak up.
21:27What are you doing here?
21:29We, the stray dogs of the capital, are in big trouble.
21:32Yes, they want to exterminate us.
21:34We beg of you to shelter us in here, in your zoo.
21:36Couldn't you get along with your humans out there?
21:39No, we couldn't.
21:40But it was not our fault.
21:41We came to ask your permission to stay here.
21:44Because, well, we fear that the beasts might kill us.
21:48Please.
21:49This is bad.
21:51Very bad.
21:53We beg of you to put out a good word for us out there.
21:56For as long as we're here, do it this time.
21:58And we swear we won't bother you anymore.
22:00Please, splendid lion king, help us.
22:02Oh, we beg you, sir lion, to help us.
22:04Pretty, please.
22:05Please.
22:05I don't know what to say in here.
22:10I am no longer the king of animals you know from your stories when you were small.
22:19A king makes no sense without a kingdom.
22:25And a lion makes no sense without his freedom.
22:30Not a tiger or a wolf or any other animal.
22:34Not even a dog.
22:38You may shelter yourselves in here.
22:42I will issue an order and nobody will touch you.
22:46But not because it is my will.
22:48But because we are almost finished.
22:52They are hungry, exhausted, and desperate.
22:56And the real danger is that you will eat them up.
23:04I'm a bitch!
23:11Fuck you!
23:21Let's leave the zoo as soon as possible.
23:23Oh my god.
23:24Oh, come on.
23:24There are way worse cases than ours out there.
23:26Where are you?
23:32We left the zoo terrified.
23:36We now understood that it was a great misfortune to be small, unprotected, and without allies in this jungle we
23:44call Earth.
23:46We decided to spend together the rest of our remaining days, and never, ever separate from each other.
23:56Oh, you happy flying birds.
23:58Lucky you to have your wings and stay away, away from the troubles of this world.
24:03Oh, how we wished it was true.
24:05We don't know what has happened to us lately.
24:08Our friends were killed while flying in the sky.
24:11We were shot from down air as if there were any flames.
24:15We started flying in groups of tens, and ended up in groups of only four or five.
24:21Even skies are not safe anymore.
24:30How about we go to the cattle market?
24:34Who knows?
24:35Maybe someone will buy us, and we'll be safe.
24:41Sir?
24:42Sir, can you give me a piece of bread, please?
24:44Hey, get out of here.
24:45Get out of here.
24:45Mom, please.
24:46Come on, get out of here.
24:47Just give me something, please.
24:52Go on, get the hell out.
24:53Okay.
25:26What is that fool doing over there?
25:28I don't know.
25:30Should we go over?
25:31Let's ask first.
25:33Oh, all right.
25:35Hey, you.
25:36Have you not heard anything about what's going on?
25:39Let's suppose I have.
25:42Then get the hell out of here before somebody shoots you.
25:45You think you are scaring me?
25:47Nice try.
25:49I'll kiss the hand that will kill me.
25:51That's what I am looking for.
25:54You seem lost, my friend.
25:56You see the world only in black and white.
25:58Why?
25:59Do you see it in color?
26:00No.
26:01No, no, no.
26:01We see it in black and white, too, but we try to imagine it as if it was colored.
26:05You gain nothing if you cry all the time.
26:08Do you gain anything if you laugh all the time?
26:13I am tired of hearing only sad things, and I'm too old to hope for a better life.
26:20Long ago, when I was young and strong, they needed me.
26:25They kept me well, and I had a good life.
26:29But now that I grew old, they threw me away in the middle of nowhere like a used lemon.
26:36So, leave me alone in my fate.
26:39All right, all right, but you would better run for your life.
26:43God.
26:45God, you who take care of the flying birds.
26:49Why don't you take care of the stray dogs, too?
26:52It's not our fault if we are dirty and sick.
26:56We multiply by your grace and will.
27:01High up there in the heavens, you are all alone.
27:05I know everyone asks you for something, and you might forget some requests sometimes,
27:11but please, please, listen to my prayer today, because it's the most important thing.
27:28Romeo, being that we're here, can we ask them whether they're happy or not?
27:33Fine.
27:34Ask them if you like.
27:35Okay.
27:36Hey!
27:37You down there!
27:39Are you happy?
27:44Why aren't they answering?
27:46I don't know.
27:47Let's ask the other ones.
27:49Hey, you down there!
27:51Are you happy?
27:53Don't crack jokes around here.
27:55You look like an educated dog.
27:58Hey!
27:59Don't crack jokes around here.
27:59Can you not do that?
28:01Oh, I don't.
28:02Hey!
28:03You over there!
28:04Aren't you happy?
28:06Why don't they answer?
28:08I don't know.
28:17Where are you taking us?
28:19Where are you taking us, Mom?
28:20Dad?
28:21Where are you going?
28:24There are two slaughters each day.
28:26I was spared this morning, but I will not be spared later.
28:30Please don't do this to me.
28:33Please don't.
28:35Slow down, man.
28:36It hurts.
28:37They don't even let one eat in peace.
28:44Hey, you donkeys.
28:46What about you?
28:47Are you guys happy?
28:49Fuck off, bitch.
28:53You stupid idiot.
28:55Shit.
29:09What about you, sheep?
29:11Are you happy?
29:12What about you?
29:13What about you?
29:13I have to take us.
29:17Be right.
29:17And forgive them.
29:19As they know how but they do.
29:21Have mercy on us.
29:53One more day.
29:54One more day.
29:55One more day.
29:55One more day.
29:56One more day.
29:57One more day.
29:59One more day.
30:05Romeo, let's leave this place.
30:07I don't like it here.
30:08This world is a real mess.
30:14Oh, God. Oh, God.
30:17Look over here.
30:17Hey, you.
30:19Your life has just come to an end.
30:21Have you ever been happy?
30:24You're asking me a very hard question
30:27on my last day.
30:30One needs a whole life
30:31to answer that and
30:33yet sometimes
30:36it's not enough.
30:39Our own happiness does not depend
30:42on us.
30:44The strings of our
30:46destiny are in the hands of
30:48other creatures who are bigger than us.
30:52Stronger than us and they pull them
30:53the way they please.
30:56Oh.
30:59Oh.
31:01We're born with death written on our
31:03foreheads and often we don't know
31:06if life is death or death
31:07is better than life.
31:11I'm leaving now.
31:13Because I can't breathe any longer.
31:16If you're out here
31:18to look for happiness
31:20you're looking for it
31:21in the wrong place.
31:25happiness
31:25happiness is a very rare thing
31:28in this
31:28part of the world.
31:32Oh, no.
31:35Let's leave this hell as soon as possible.
31:40Oh.
31:57What are we gonna do now?
31:59Go and get that film director off his ass
32:01and get him in here.
32:02We need him to answer
32:03some questions.
32:04Oh, I'll go and give him
32:05a piece of my mind.
32:08Go on, Julia.
32:09Go. Go. Kill the asshole.
32:11Hey.
32:11What the hell is wrong with you?
32:13Get off me.
32:13You are a movie director.
32:14They paid you to make a movie about us.
32:16They've given you money because
32:17they believe you are a very wise man.
32:20So, tell us.
32:21What should we do now?
32:22Should we allow them to just
32:22kill us for no reason?
32:23That's not my business, brother.
32:25That's not my business.
32:26Get off me.
32:27Get off me.
32:27Why do you get off me?
32:28You're driving me crazy.
32:30Oh.
32:31Oh.
32:32It's none of your business now.
32:33Oh, I see.
32:33It's none of your business then.
32:34Yes.
32:35I can now tell it's a habit of yours
32:36to talk back.
32:38Oh, I'll go and give him a piece of my mind.
32:42Take your stupid quest.
32:48Don't you have any remorse about what's happening
32:50as an artist, as a citizen,
32:52or are you only there to sell your moral theories, huh?
32:55Of course not.
32:56But it's not only you that suffers this world.
32:58I'm trying to make my movie,
33:00and I'm suffering like a dog.
33:02Hey, movie director.
33:03Watch your tongue.
33:04Sorry.
33:04Sorry.
33:04Like a pig.
33:06Why do you put me in front of a camera?
33:08The place of a director is at the back of a camera.
33:10There's no right that you put me in front of a camera.
33:13I can't do anything about you.
33:14In front of a camera, you know,
33:16stay actors, liars, and politicians.
33:19But when actors lie, it's not a big deal.
33:21But if the politicians lie,
33:24that's totally a different story.
33:25You get me?
33:26It's different.
33:28Give me my glasses back now.
33:30Give him his glasses back.
33:31He wants them for all.
33:33Take them back, you stupid dark glasses.
33:35So do you think they have the right to kill us?
33:37Do they?
33:40Speak up.
33:41Why did you shut up?
33:43Say something.
33:44Really?
33:45What about Leish Manoza,
33:47that sickness that comes from you to us for free?
33:50Huh?
33:51What?
33:51We didn't do it on purpose.
33:52What about you guys?
33:53You guys are killing each other for no reason at all, huh?
33:56No matter how you slice it,
33:57you still shifted the blame on us.
33:59Hey, buddy.
34:00It's not my fault.
34:01I can't do anything about it.
34:02It's not my fault.
34:04But, hey.
34:05Why don't you sue them?
34:07Bring them in court, brother.
34:08And the way we know once and forever
34:10either it's your fault or theirs.
34:12Hell yeah?
34:13Who's gonna judge that, huh?
34:14God almighty?
34:15I don't know.
34:15I'll put your shitty script in the garbage bin.
34:17You have no business with my script.
34:18You hypocrite.
34:19You liar.
34:19Bring the script back here, I said.
34:21Hey!
34:23All we are doing is spinning around in circles.
34:27This project is a lost cause.
34:47I don't understand.
34:48Why do they want to kill us by all means?
34:51I mean, what have we done to them?
34:52Is the amount of money the municipality has placed for your killing?
34:55I don't know.
34:55Some 40,000 US dollars, I believe.
34:58Why?
34:58With an even smaller amount of money, I could have found a better solution.
35:02What is that?
35:02When?
35:03Where?
35:03Right here.
35:04Right here.
35:04Right now.
35:05With only a few veterinarians, some medicine, we could transform it right away into an institution.
35:10Into an institution?
35:11But how?
35:12Hold on, Romeo.
35:13Hold it.
35:14For example, Center for the Cure and the Cleaning of Stray Dogs.
35:18Do you get it now?
35:19Yes, yes, yes.
35:20Go on.
35:21What else?
35:21Hold on a bit, Romeo.
35:23Hold on a bit, Romeo.
35:24Hold on.
35:24In this center, the stray dogs could be vaccinated, cleaned, will be given a name, and who in the
35:30world would hesitate to pay something to have a dog like that at home?
35:33Oh, my God.
35:33This is fantastic.
35:35That was impossible.
35:36I couldn't figure it out earlier.
35:37I know, right?
35:38This is a brilliant idea because they can't clean our city killing.
35:41Besides, it will bring financial profits.
35:43It is really very simple.
35:44Oh, my God.
35:45I feel so relieved.
35:49I am such a smart dog.
35:51I am a genius.
35:52La-dee-dee-da.
35:53La-dee-dee-da.
35:54La-dee-dee-da.
35:55La-dee-dee-da.
35:56Oh, but wait.
35:57There are still two other issues to be resolved.
36:00First, how can we bring this idea into a municipality's head?
36:03Secondly, how will we survive until then?
36:05Well, now I know what we should do.
36:07Really?
36:08Yes.
36:08Oh, I love you very much, Romeo.
36:11I love you too, baby.
36:12Embrace me, please, Romeo.
36:15Juliet, I would like to thank you for bringing back in me the desire to live.
36:27Oh, my God.
36:35It was so cute, when I see her and she would be like in the room,
36:38You know?
36:40I don't know.
36:41I can say that.
36:43I don't know.
36:44I'll see you.
36:44You don't know what you're doing.
36:46I can't say you, because nothing is done.
36:48I don't know what you're doing.
36:49oh
36:51Oh, my God.
37:13Oh, my God.
37:15Oh, my God.
42:03Hey, you guys.
42:04You guys should be happy.
42:05Are you happy?
42:08What the heck?
42:11Hello?
42:13Are you happy?
42:21Hello?
42:22Hello?
42:23Hello?
42:24Hey, you!
42:25You guys over there!
42:26How about you, are you happy?
42:38Are you happy?
43:05Hello?
43:07Hello?
43:07Hello?
43:08Hello?
43:10Why don't you?
43:12Why don't you answer?
43:37Why don't you answer?
43:45Amen.
44:10Amen.
44:39Amen.
44:50Hello?
