White God

Lili, a 13-year-old girl, struggles with her mother's recent departure. Her father, who has been absent for years, imposes strict rules, leaving Lili feeling isolated and alone.

Amidst her emotional turmoil, Lili finds solace in a mixed-breed dog named Hagen. Their bond grows strong as Hagen becomes her loyal companion and source of comfort during difficult times.

As Lili's attachment to Hagen deepens, her father's financial refusal to pay the Hungarian government's 'mongrel' tax presents a challenge. He proposes to buy her a purebred dog instead, highlighting their emotional disconnect.

Desiring to keep Hagen close, Lili sneaks him into her music class. This decision backfires when Hagen disrupts the lesson, leading to a confrontation where the teacher threatens Lili with expulsion.

Frustrated by the situation at the music school, Lili's decision to leave with Hagen infuriates her father. He tracks them down, leading to a heated argument that culminates in him abandoning Hagen far from the city.

Left on his own, Hagen navigates the city, embarking on a lonely and treacherous journey. He encounters dangers but also befriends a white dog, finding a temporary refuge among street dogs.

Hagen's peace is shattered when dog catchers come hunting for him and his companions. With the help of a homeless man, Hagen narrowly escapes, only to find himself caught in a dog-fighting ring shortly after.

In the dog-fighting ring, Hagen faces brutal mistreatment and is forced to fight for his life. In a desperate bid, he ultimately defeats his opponent, leading to his escape and capture by animal control.

Meanwhile, Lili is heartbroken over Hagen's absence. At a party, her emotional pain leads her to drink excessively, which causes her to be picked up by the police, prompting her father to come to her aid.

In a moment of vulnerability, Lili's father confesses his regrets about forcing Hagen away. This heartfelt conversation opens the door for reconciliation as he promises to attend Lili's concert.

Hagen manages to escape from the dog pound following an altercation with a staff member. In a heroic moment, he leads a pack of released dogs in a quest for vengeance against those who wronged them.

Hagen and his pack make their way to the concert hall where Lili is set to perform. Their sudden appearance creates chaos, but Lili, upon seeing her beloved dog, decides to pursue them.

The climax brings Hagen and his dog allies to the slaughterhouse where Lili's father works. Tensions escalate as Hagen initially growls at Lili, creating a dramatic standoff filled with emotional stakes.

Lili plays **Franz Liszt's 'Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2'** on her trumpet, calming Hagen and influencing the other dogs to lay down in peace. This act symbolizes healing as it brings Lili and her father together.

With the music soothing everyone, Lili's father drops his weapon, symbolizing unity. This profound moment marks a new beginning for the family and the restoration of their bond with Hagen.
