Dogs (Romanian: Câini) is a 2016 Romanian drama film directed by Bogdan Mirică. It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival[2][3] where it won the FIPRESCI Prize.[4] It is Mirică's directorial debut.[5][6]
The action takes place near Tulcea, in an area of the Danube sector of the Romania–Ukraine border, where groups of smugglers make the law. The city dweller Roman inherits 550 hectares (1,400 acres) of land from his recently deceased grandfather. His attempt at selling the property is disrupted by a group of thugs led by the smug, sinister Samir, throwing Roman into a violent arena with only a dilapidated shack as his fortress.[7]
