«In a world of dogs, the most exploited always pay the highest price.
The city of Dogstown is far from the playground this broke father had hoped for, eager to spend a few days with his son. After struggling to finance the trip, he quickly discovers upon arrival that the city teems with crooks. Here, everything has a price, and one must be cautious, for sometimes allies bite harder than enemies.
Thrown into solitude and confronted with the system’s corruption, each character seeks an escape: in a cloud of powder, in front of an episode of Murder and Cash, or through the innocent gaze of a child and his Ice Crime.
Straddling foolishness and harsh reality, Dogstown explores a father’s survival and a son’s innocence, trapped in a brutal order. The universe improbably blends the gritty 1990s New York aesthetic with popular references to the Geneva landscape, throwing the reader onto the asphalt of a cynical, tense, and strangely familiar dystopia.» — Nadia El-Hindi
