When her father sets her dog Hagen free on the streets of Budapest, thirteen-year-old Lili becomes devastated. She runs away from home to search for him while Hagen’s path crosses dark people on dark streets full of violence, enmity, assault and danger. In this city of overcrowded shelters and illegal dog fights, Hagen becomes a symbol of revolution and this revolution becomes a symbol of Lili’s rebellion. Awarded with Un certain regard prize in Cannes Film Festival, Kornél Mundruczó’s White God is empowered by pure love in spite of all its harshness and wilderness.
