Facing a long winter of lockdown and combating a bad case of writer’s block, filmmaker Eric agrees to get a dog with his girlfriend Allie. A modern couple – vegan, ethical, millennial, neurotic – much research and negotiation leads to the arrival of Milly, a rescue from the Dominican Republic. This sets off a riotous chain of new challenges on how to best deal with this addition to the household. As Eric contends with a sinister dog-training programme, his introspection spills out onto his film work, with poor Allie and Milly taken along for the ride. The couple each pursue their own deepheld individual questions surrounding trust, purpose and roots, while wrestling with the idea of what it means to be a modern family. Milly, in the meantime, has a lot on her paws with these two!
　　Part rom-com, part rescue-dog story, part autofiction, part self-indictment, part family scrapbook, this debut feature was made with remarkable economy and displays a disquieting amount of (often hilarious) emotional authenticity. Filmmaker Ben Petrie and creative collaborator Grace Glowicki play the young couple and in doing so, capture nothing less than what it means to be human.

《荒蛮故事》是一部黑色喜剧，由6个独立的暴力复仇小故事构成。影片是一次对于人类失控行径的颠覆性创作，从怪异的幽默感，独特的画面和大胆的配乐，到对于身处绝境的普通人这一题材的偏爱，都可以清晰地看到南美鬼才导演达米安·斯兹弗隆与阿莫多瓦在创作方面的相似之处。不过，斯兹弗隆仍然通过这部影片发出了自己独特的声音：一场对于一个腐败成风、经济和社会严重不平等的社会的尖锐抨击。
