Description

He just wants to play “Grüezi! Have you seen my dog?” A dog owner is looking for his dog. And encounters people. He is about to leave but stops and starts a conversation. About consumption, war, AI, and cynology. About trash cans in Japan and SUVs in the city. About unnecessary offers and unsolicited opinions. Because it could also be done without, right? Other characters come into play: the man on the phone, the man with a migration background, or the teacher with his class. They are also searching. In the tension between chair and bench, between nature and technology, they all try in their own way to find out where the dog is buried. Or where love falls. In his fifth program, Simon Chen goes out and exposes his characters to the here and now; critically, humorously, and sharply. The dog owner goes for a walk. And lets go of the leash. Collaboration: Paul Steinmann Voice Laika: Sibylle Aeberli Language: Dialect & Standard German Duration: approx. 85 min + break
