Manhattan Odyssey (2020)
Jacob, once famous but now retired seventy-year-old actor, is looking for a dog-walker for his adorable little black schnauzer, Mitzy, that he obsessively loves more than anything else in the world. Out of all the candidates he picks Daniel, seemingly the least suitable for the job, a young loser immersed in virtual games. Jacob teaches him 'the ancient art' of dog walking; the lessons are a funny, absurd mixture of memory, history, and fantasy. - Manhattan Odyssey is an unusual 'love story' between two men, a woman and a dog, if it is love story at all. It leads us from an everyday activity such as a dog walking to the liminal space of the human animal becoming either animal or human.
