Its aura and its colours match more an exotic central-American temperament. HUNGRY WORLD Significant Orange-Mint Jelly The love we impose on dogs is unending. And the list of what dogs are to us is long, gathering a lot of attributes – of us. Following certain theories dogs didn’t even exist without us. Like ghosts. Or poetry.

HUNGRY CITY Berlinale The Grand Finale Take a look behind the scenes of Berlinale in this last entry of our festival diary.
