About The Dead Dogs

A young man lives alone with his mother and his beloved dog in a house in a small village overlooking the fjord. The dog has run off and gone missing. This has never happened before...

In The Dead Dogs, lives are shockingly disrupted by an event that changes the direction of their future.

Fosse's drama explores life lived in unexpected ways, with a sense of otherness pervading the present and colouring the characters' relationships.
