Good Boy
Simply put, he's a dog.
Directed by Viljar Bøe
Produced by Fredagsfilm, The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)
A darkly unsettling psychological thriller that uses the surreal image of a man living as a dog to explore power dynamics, abuse, and the hidden horrors lurking beneath wealth and charm.
Christian, a millionaire heir, meets Sigrid, a young student, on a dating app. They hit it off quickly, but there's only one problem: Christian lives with Frank, a man who dresses up and constantly acts like a dog.
