“Is a dog the same as a table?” Well, in fact, in the eyes of Swiss law, it is. Thus begins Laetitia Dosch‘s somewhat absurdist, yet increasingly serious courtroom drama. It all begins when April, an idealistic lawyer with a predilection for lost causes, agrees to defend Cosmos, her client’s faithful canine companion, who is accused of biting three people… and whose very life now hangs in the balance. If April loses this case, as she almost always does, the frisky, affectionate pup will be put to death. As ridiculous as that sounds, that is indeed the law of the land in most countries around the world, including the U.S. And what begins as an almost silly comic premise evolves into a passionate cri de cœur for both animal and women’s rights.
