DIEVA SUNS / DOG OF GOD
#folktale

In a 17th century Swedish Livonian village, constant rain and drunkenness prevail. When a stolen relic sparks witchcraft accusations, an 80-year-old self-proclaimed werewolf named the Dog of God arrives with a mysterious gift: The Devil’s Balls.

Animation film "Dog of God" is a folk tale thriller set in a small medieval town in Livonia during the waning days of autumn, in 1692. The relentless rain, short days, and dark nights create the perfect backdrop for a series of magical and disturbing events.

The plot of the film Dog of God by the Ābele brothers is rooted in a historical event: the most famous werewolf trial in Northern Europe, the case of Thiess of Kaltenbrun, in which an 82-year-old man bravely declared himself a werewolf or a Dog of God during a trial in a church, recounting his battles against witches and wizards in the depths of hell.
