Laika, a stray dog, was the first living being to be sent into space and thus to a certain death. According to a legend, she returned to Earth as a ghost and has roamed the streets of Moscow ever since. Following her trace, and filmed from a dog’s perspective, SPACE DOGS accompanies the adventures of her descendants: two street dogs living in today’s Moscow. Their story is one of intimate fellowship but also relentless brutality, and is interwoven with unseen archive material from the Soviet cosmic era . A magical tale of voyagers scouting for unknown spaces.
“Like Disney’s THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY, if it had been directed by Andrei Tarkovsky, we get a dog’s eye view of the city as a pair of scruffy street denizens snap and snarl their way through their version of the Zone from STALKER, licking cars, scavenging for food and meeting a very unfortunate kitten.” (CINEVUE)

So when the Party cursed the capitalist dogs, they did not mean these dogs?
