Synopsis

Our story is set in the only Hungarian city with statue dedicated to a dog, one "who" saved more than 200 human lives. The main characters are three incredible women with completely different backgrounds: one of them is an advertisement manager, another one is a veterinary, and the youngest is a sportswoman. They all have families, jobs, different personal dramas acted out right in front of the camera. However, they have on thing in common: their passion is providing home for stray dogs. A few years ago everything seemed to work out fine; they put up a shelter and helped two thousand dogs to find new owners. But a landslide ruined everything and they had to start all over again. Since 2005 we’ve followed their struggle against bureaucracy and social apathy. 5 years passed by and now it’s over. The new shelter meeting the European standards is ready.
