Dogs' Feast (Russian: Собачий пир, romanized: Sobachiy pir) is a 1990 Soviet drama film directed by Leonid Menaker.
Despite her chaotic behavior, Zhanna retains a glimmer of humanity in her eyes, while Arkady, with an air of quiet dignity, consistently refuses to drink.
Their dynamic takes a turn during a visit to Leningrad, where Arkady’s backstory unravels: once a hard worker and alcoholic, he served time in prison for a fight.
Overwhelmed by this revelation, he breaks his sobriety, but Zhanna carefully brings him home and nurses him back to health.
In a final act of despair, realizing that Arkady will never see her for who she truly is, Zhanna turns on the gas and lies down beside him, sealing her tragic fate.
