老人與狗相依為命,老狗因年邁而不良於行,老人孤注一擲,將所有希望押在賽馬場上,一心籌錢為狗醫病。黑白的影像、冰冷的城市、淒清的口琴聲,將老人的孤寂以光影表現得淋漓盡致,賽場上馬匹奔馳的慢鏡與緊湊的戲劇張力形成強烈對比,讓觀眾的心從頭懸空到尾。獲2012學生奧斯卡外語片銀獎。
Rolf is desperately struggling to keep his life on track after losing his wife. He has gotten a dog, Piet, to help fill the void, but now he too is getting old. Unable to bear the vet's advice to put Piet to sleep, Rolf decides to raise the money for an expensive operation. The only way he knows how is by gambling on the horses with his seasoned pal, Schafer. So begins an agonising day at the races, where Rolf must put his faith - and cash - on animals he barely understands, to save the life of the only one he loves.
