4 Dogs

'North from Calabria' is about a dream place to live, where living is easy and people know each other, tolerate their faults, like to meet to talk and just be together. For one summer, Sauter's film crew mingles with the inhabitants of a small town to enact an almost Italian comedy. It appears that all they needed was a few classes of Italian cuisine and the art of carpe diem to turn this Polish province into Calabria alike. A documentary midsummer night's dream.

In the idyllic world of Israeli kibbutzim everything has its own pace. There’s a time for work and for rest. There’s a time for fun too, which is when 9‑year‑old Tom and his friends play hide‑and‑seek or attack each other with a drone. Then there are moments when you have to hide and you only get 15 seconds. Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, lose a life if you’re too slow. The film is a documentary observation of life in closed‑off settlements located in a military zone less than 5 kilometres from the Gaza strip.
