Screened episode(s) : 1, 2 & 3
Format : 6 x 15min

A refugee family from Ukraine looks for their lost dog Slava in Hamburg. The search goes viral. A warm-hearted rollercoaster ride through the city culminates in a cheerful circus performance where a drop of love falls into the laps of those who need it most.

Our take

The new series from the German creator of Sunshine Eyes, which won at the festival in 2022, tenderly addresses a topical issue and imagines the life of a Ukrainian family of refugees living in Hamburg. A lively family tale mixing emotion, satire and circassian imagery.
