It was a 'wild dog' in the beginning. In the spring of 2017, there was a lot of news about wild dogs in the media. In other words, in the urban redevelopment area, people abandoned their dogs as they left, and the dogs that lost their owners went up to the mountain and became a herd of wild dogs. A wild dog in a city. For some reason, it sounded like a contradictory story, so I visited the last remaining village in Daldongne, Baeksa Village, Seoul, in search of a wild dog. The village, which is empty from one house to another, was faced with difficult times by wandering dogs and dogs suffering with one meter leash. Can't humans and animals be happy together in a city? The camera captures the entire year of searching for the answer, and at the end of the journey, a beautiful concert will be held to console the weary lives on the road.

Concert for Dogs and Cats
Let me say, the cat on the poster for this movie is a perfect representation of the documentary, which shows the care for stray cats and dogs in Baeksa, a mountain village. Both humans and their pets struggle to survive in this place, but the animals suffer even more when their owners abandon them. So, one guy came up with the idea of making a concert for the animals?!In my opinion, it is silly to prepare a concert for dogs and cats—the concert is for people. But if the concert raises awareness about treating animals better, then you could say it is also for them. The movie did that for me: it made me reflect on stray cats and dogs—or rather, wandering cats and dogs. It teaches us not to be afraid of them and to help them, which gives the movie a noble purpose. Still, I struggle to accept the idea that animals are equal to humans, as the film seems to suggest. They are, after all, still pets. If they ever made a concert for us, then I might reconsider.
As for the concert itself—it was nice, and the documentary allowed us as viewers to enjoy it. The film also includes some cute short animations and beautiful live video portraits of animals. This is where the movie works best: portraits of cats and dogs accompanied by beautiful music in the background.
Still, I can’t understand why people put clothes on animals. My dogs would never accept wearing anything, since they always look for a way to cool down.
