Woof, Daddy - US

In this explosive absurdist psychological thriller, a father’s duck-hunting reunion with his son is haunted by the reckless presence of his dead dog and the mysterious vanishing of his daughter. From ocean marshlands to the capricious revelations that often determine life, Woof, Daddy tempests into a tornado of irony, desires, and hopes, reeling everything into a mad game of subterfuge. Combining styles of tragic-comedy with musical theater, magical surrealism with bestial wonder, and farce with horror, this perversity will forever change the ways you relate to dogs and the humans who love them.
