Since she was little, Asya has been taking care of stray dogs at the Nadezhda shelter, where her mother worked as a caretaker. Years later, they remember this period of their lives as one of the best. The film also introduces us to Rosalin Schmich, who is part of a group of volunteers who help the Municipal Dog Shelter in Gorni Bogrov. We follow two hunters from the municipal enterprise “Ekoravnovesie” as they travel around Sofia and encounter various cases related to the homeless animals.
