On a still, freezing day between Christmas and New Year, a man's body is found lying in his ruined flat. In the days that follow, those who knew him recreate his neglected life and look on as his body is examined, investigated and cremated. And as they watch, their own stories unfurl layer by layer; stories of hopes flaring and dying and of lives fallen through the cracks. Shockingly powerful and intensely moving, Even the Dogs is an intimate portrayal of existence from beyond the comfort zone.
