The Passions

In the film, we see at first glance a harmless pet, a Great Dane-Harlequin breed. Then we see the man, the trainer, and we hear him order several times: Slaughter it, slaughter it! In the end, the dog becomes an obedient executioner, and it kills bloodthirsty. At that time, a bloody war was being prepared, and different, far more sinister trainers appeared: national leaders. They trained the brain of the Balkan man to kill and slaughter... The film is not about dogs, it is not a document or a testimony, but a metaphor about the transfer of evil from ideologues to executors.
