Space Dogs

Laika, a stray dog, was the first living being sent into the outer space and a certain death. According to a legend, her ghost has returned to the Earth and roamed the streets of Moscow ever since. Interwoven with Soviet archive materials from the Space Race, this magical documentary is filmed at the eye level of a dog, following Laika's poignant trail and accompanying her spiritual descendants, a pack of street dogs, on their poetic yet brutal adventures in today's Moscow.
