Lawyer Avril decides to defend Cosmos, a dog who is facing trial for biting three people. If they lose the case, Cosmos is at risk of being euthanized. To save Cosmos facing a life-or-death decision under human law for the crime of biting people, Avril begins by examining the dog’s legal status. So, according to the law, are dogs considered people or objects? In court, a discussion unfolds with ecologists, philosophers, and religious figures debating the ethics and soul of animals. The trial also explores why Cosmos only bit women, leading to the absurd claim that ‘Cosmos is a misogynist.’ This comedy, which is both incredibly funny and ultimately serious, is based on a true story. Laetitia Dosch, a former actress, directs and stars as Avril. Cosmos (Kodi) won the prestigious ‘Palm Dog’ Award at this year’s Cannes Film Festival for the best performance by a dog. (LEE Juhyun)
