Synopsis

In a nearly deserted village, the only witnesses to its former bustle are the abandoned dogs. After his involvement in a murder, Lang returns to the village and joins the search for a black dog that the villagers believe to be rabid and want to eliminate. During an unexpected seven-day cohabitation with the animal, Lang rediscovers his environment and the new possibilities it offers him as he rides through the place on his motorcycle with sidecar, with the twilight as a backdrop.
