Old Dog Overview

An elderly Tibetan shepherd lives with his son Gonbo and Gonbo’s wife, Rikso. They own an old Tibetan mastiff, a sheepdog whose breed has become a prized possession for Chinese buyers. Their own old dog is sold, recovered, resold, stolen, and recovered again, passing through the hands of a Chinese dealer, the local police, and Tibetan dog rustlers. In what may be Pema Tseden’s darkest film, crises of identity and masculinity collide as vultures circle overhead.
