Dogwalker // Habib und der Hund
(Writer)
Habib is struggling through the rough life of a Hamburg undocumented immigrant. Things get worse when Habib is forced to flee a raid at his workplace. While escaping through the flat of an elderly woman, he loses his bag with all his belongings. Instead he picks up the big, grey, demonic eyed dog Siggi. Habib spares no effort to get rid of his unwanted new friend. Siggi, however, has absolutely no intention of leaving Habib's side...
