Laika, a stray dog, was the first living being to be sent into space and thus to a certain death. A legend says that today her ghost is wandering through the Russian capital. Following her trace, and filmed from a dog’s perspective, the film accompanies the adventures of her descendants: two street dogs living in today’s Moscow. Their story is one of intimate fellowship but also relentless brutality, and is interwoven with unseen archive material from the Sovietcosmic era.
