Ahead of the release of Yorgos Lanthimos' new film Bugonia, we're screening the 4K restoration of his Cannes prize-winning film from 2009 Dogtooth.

A father, a mother and their three adult kids live at the outskirts of a city. There is a tall fence surrounding the house. The kids have never been outside that fence.

They are being educated, entertained, bored and exercised in the manner that their parents deem appropriate, without any influence from the outside world. They believe that the aeroplanes flying over are toys and that zombies are small yellow flowers.

But children cannot remain innocent forever. When the father brings home a young woman to satisfy his son's sexual urges, the family's engineered "reality" begins to crumble, with devastating consequences.
