Director: Robert Lakatos
In this documentary satire, dog breeding ideologies are metaphors for human national and social politics. WHOSE DOG AM I? speaks in a humorous way about serious social and political issues. The director of the film, a member of the Hungarian minority from Romania (in the region of Transylvania), while searching for the perfect “bride” for his pure-breed Hungarian Kuvasz (his alter-ego), gets involved in dog breeding politics. During the story he gets under the influence of different ideologies, but because of his social sensitivity, he gets disappointed by all the ideologies.
