State of Dogs (1998)

Mongolia's capital city Ulan Bator has a human population of 800,000 and a stray dog population of 120,000. The dog problem is being solved by a man hired by the city to hunt down and shoot dogs. The streets are littered with dead canines. Baasar is a dog destined for exactly this fate, but once dead, he reflects upon his life. He came from the steppes to the city and, alone, sought to attach himself to a young woman. Through Baasar's eyes, we see contemporary Mongolian life and the vein of mysticism and myth that coexists with the everyday.
