Kalter Hund

On the morning of his 100th birthday, Fanny finds her grandfather dead in his bed. The ‘jolly good fellow’ has taken his life with an anti-epileptic, that Fanny had stolen from the family-run mercy farm for his old pug. In order to hold up the family’s perfect image by covering up the patriarchs suicide, the clan is now forced to stage an absurd charade in front of the invited guests. Despite all efforts the bombshell drops, but there’s no time to cry - since meanwhile someone has stolen grandpa’s last will. A bitter inheritance battle breaks out and old power-dynamics are turned upside down, which force the entire kin into a family constellation with a shaman healer…KALTER HUND is a black comedy about family secrets and denied guilt, that can leave their invisible marks for generations.
