Recap
Living in harmony with nature on the banks of the Danube, Yovo is a stubborn guardian of the land who single-handedly stands up to those who pollute his village. When a local oligarch plans an illegal wild-boar hunt to impress a foreign investor aiming to build a nuclear-waste repository in the region, Yovo's well-trained dog becomes a key part of the scheme. Yovo launches a dangerous struggle to protect both his dog and the valley's future, confronting those blinded by money and power.
