Summary
A single father makes his meager living holding up an advertising placard on a traffic island in the middle of a busy highway. His children wait out their days in supermarkets before they eat with their father and go to sleep in an abandoned building. As the father starts to come apart, a woman in the supermarket takes the children under her wing. These principal characters live the cruelest of existences on the ragged edges of the modern world, much like the real stray dogs that need to be fed in this everyday apocalypse.
