LA NUIT DES CHIENS

Maxime Gros • fiction • 25′ • in development • 2024

Ten years after a macabre crime and the disappearance of the murderer, Thomas, a TV show goes back to the facts by having the interviews replayed by actors. It all seems to start with a lover’s quarrel between Thomas and Léo. Léo criticizes Thomas for only taking care of his dog farm, who in turn blames his father for the weight the farm puts on his shoulders.

That same evening, Thomas meets Warren, the son of a couple who have come to the B&B to buy a dog. Thomas is seduced by Warren, who is really only there to distract him while Leo, out of ego, frees the dogs driven mad by the ultra sound whistle.

A shot goes off and Thomas’s father is killed. The son wants revenge. A battle ensues between the three young men. When the police arrive, Warren is dead, Léo has been shot in the back, and Thomas has disappeared. Léo claims he’s run away.
