DOG BOY

FOUR-YEAR-OLD ROMOCHKA IS LEFT ALONE IN A DARK, EMPTY MOSCOW APARTMENT. AFTER A FEW DAYS, HUNGER DRIVES HIM OUTSIDE, WHERE HE SEES A LARGE, YELLOW DOG LOPING PAST AND FOLLOWS HER TO HER LAIR ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE CITY. DURING THE SEASONS THAT FOLLOW, ROMOCHKA CHANGES FROM A BOY INTO SOMETHING FAR WILDER. """"""""""""""""""" """"" """""""" """"""" """"""""""""""""" """" """" """""" """"""" """".
