Directed by Quentin Dupieux

Comedy / Drama

Film Synopsis

Dolph Springer, a man in his early forties, wakes up one morning and is horrified to find that his beloved pet dog, Paul, has gone missing.  Paul is just about the only thing that Dolph has left to live for - his only real friend.  The unfortunate Dolph has lost his job - although he refuses to accept the fact and carries on as if he still had it - and has no one else to comfort him.  So desperate is Dolph to find his canine companion that he hires a private detective named Ronnie to help him look for him.

By now, Dolph's whole world has been turned inside-out by his crushing feeling of bereavement.  Nothing else matters now other than the recovery of his precious pet.  In the course of his bizarre quest, the distressed dog owner has a strange series of encounters - with Emma, a sex-mad pizza seller, an eccentric Mexican gardener and, most worrying of all, a very suspicious-looking individual named Mr Change.  In his present paranoid state of mind, Dolph is easily led to the conclusion that these may all have had a hand in the disappearance of his priceless pooch.  One thing is certain.  Dolph knows that if he cannot find Paul life will hardly be worth living...
