Euphoria
Poland2017documentary17'
You need to arrange haircuts, grooming, baths and much more to prepare a dog for a show. For the owners of pedigree poodles, Euphoria and Frodo, these are everyday chores. Yet, once in a while, there comes a critical moment when they must face a harsh judgement: is the dog proportional or is it too short? Or, maybe, its muzzle resembles that of a greyhound? For the two women, it is also a test of their friendship while they both compete for the judges’ favours.
