In a rain-soaked 17th-century Livonian village gripped by drunkenness and superstition, an 80-year-old man claiming to be a werewolf arrives carrying a mysterious artifact called the Devil's Balls. When a stolen relic fuels witchcraft accusations among the villagers, his cryptic gift becomes entangled in their mounting paranoia and darkness.
Cindy says
A gorgeously grotesque animated descent into 17th-century hysteria, where Ābele's painterly direction transforms a Baltic village nightmare into something genuinely unsettling. The Dog of God is audacious and darkly funny—a folk horror fever dream that doesn't always land perfectly, but swings boldly enough to matter.
