Winner of the Palm Dog Award at the Cannes Film Festival
When the sun sets over the Bodden, harbors and Baltic Sea, the time for nature films in the open air and special encounters begins on Fischland-Darß-Zingst. The Nature Film Nights give a foretaste of the 22nd Darß Nature Film Festival, which will take place on the Baltic Sea peninsula from 6 to 11 October 2026.
Film: "Hundschuldig"
Avril is a passionate lawyer who keeps landing hopeless cases. With her boss already threatening to fire her, she vows to win her next case. But then the desperate Dariuch appears in her office with his faithful dog Cosmos. The four-legged friend has bitten three people and is to be put down. The chances of acquittal are nil, but one look into Cosmos' sad eyes makes Avril forget her good intentions. She wants to save her shaggy client by any means necessary and throws herself into the work. The case quickly spreads. When the press gets involved alongside dog psychologists, lawyers, animal rights activists and politicians, the case threatens to get completely out of hand.
