About the film - Short description  
Houdini - The EX best friend  
 
The story is about animals, dogs - mongrels who have no market value in a human made world, and about people who are extremely brutal those those  
animals. Dog pounds and some dog shelters - asylums in Croatia are places of brutality and torture, where they steal the money given for the animals by the Government. They take the money for food, medical treatment and euthansia in their pockets and kill the animals by hanging them on the wire or even more brutal .... charging the government for all treatments. In time we encountered a few people who help ease the suffering of these unfortunate animals .... all of them were volunteers.
