Death Plan for a Dog and a Man
by Christos Karakepelis, Greece, 2024, 66'
In lockdown hibernation, an outcast like an invulnerable superhero, plans an epic escape for himself and his dog; he wants to escape the deadliest virus: life itself. An adventurous death trip that will magically drive them both from their hovel to the wild mountains and up to New York, from suffocating reality to absolute freedom.
Director: Christos Karakepelis
Born in 1962, he focuses on people exiled from the norm, acrobats of precariousness. Working with them for years, they engage in a quest larger than their private story, functioning as archetypal figures. He is currently shooting Future Tenses, a dialogue on survival struggle between three working-class communities (Greece, Tanzania, China).
