This is a short description of dangerous game "Space Dog". The hero of the film is an ordinary lad: school, friends, football, clubs, first love. "Space Dog" has been left far behind. Today he tries to play it again. Statistically, in the world over the last 10 years more than 1000 teenagers died from games involving strangling or suffocation.
