To please Cecile, Tom agrees to adopt her dead neighbour’s Chihuahua. Actress Greta is crushed. Her dog and her assistant both died, run over by a bus. Franck and Lola fall in love at first sight. They have so much in common, except Lola doesn’t like dogs. Three intertwined destinies, three stories of humans and their dogs.

After turning heads with his debut “Death By Death”, Xavier Seron is back with an intriguing yet funny second feature. He will tell you it is just a dramedy, exploring three overlapping fates, but it’s something else. With an elegant black and white cinematography and a meticulous, precise, yet patient, sense of rhythm, “Chiennes de vies” (in its original language) will make you question if a dog is really man’s best friend, whilst you also question (while enjoying) the Belgian sense of humour.
