Die Rüden

In a dark, gritty world where toxic masculinity reigns supreme, four young violent offenders are given a chance at redemption through a unique rehabilitation program run by an unorthodox dog trainer named Lu. Set in a dingy, concrete arena inhabited by three fierce dogs with metal muzzles, the program forces the men to confront their deepest fears and insecurities. Against all odds, Lu's unwavering determination and expertise transform the men, and they learn to harness their aggression and anger into something positive. But as they progress, the line between rehabilitation and exploitation becomes blurred, revealing a shocking truth about society's need for violence and control. Will the men be able to break free from their past and become better versions of themselves, or will they succumb to the darkness that surrounds them? "Die Rüden" presents a thought-provoking exploration of masculinity, power, and redemption that will leave you questioning your own beliefs about the human condition.
