Some men are literal dogs! And Juan just so happens to find one in the wilderness while on vacation. He takes him in, bathes him, feeds him, and shows him much-needed affection. However, his girlfriend warns against becoming too attached… Following The Astronaut Lovers, Argentine provocateur Marco Berger is back with a boldly absurdist fairy tale where animal desires and instincts turn strangely literal. Musky, naked hunks are man’s best friend… dogs. But, when do belly rubs and sloppy kisses on the mouth become homoerotic? Perro perro is a tender, absurdist film about empathy, connection, and the way our most basic instincts reveal our humanity.
