A bold documentary in a measured style about the modern-day quest for meaning and personal growth.
Is our life a story? And if so, can we re-write it? In Drama Girl, director Vincent Boy Kars gets a young woman to act out a number of key scenes from her recent past. Perhaps, Kars thinks, this could help her come to terms with certain events. In the meantime, he also gains something: a film that probes how fiction and documentary can learn from one another.
Dog whisperer Ron assists people who have problems with their dogs. The dogs refuse to listen, show fearful behavior, or are aggressive and bite. Yet it often turns out not to be the dogs, but the owners who need to be trained. Because of the unlimited love for their animal, people forget to give them boundaries. The solution is that owners learn to behave like dogs.
