Tender and erotic love story of a respectable bourgeois housewife and a large black Alsatian dog. Shot in 1977, the film employs bestiality as a symbol of Spain's political landscape. It makes references to the massacre of Atocha and to political right wing groups that, after the death of Francisco Franco, tried to maintain the dictator’s political ideals.
