A combination of live action and animation, the film is based on the story of a heroic rescue dog, a male German Shepherd dog, who saved countless lives by rescuing earthquake survivors trapped deep underneath the rubble. Mancs became famous when he helped rescue a 3-year-old girl who spent 82 hours under the ruins after the Izmir earthquake of 1999 in Turkey.
In 2015, the film won the main prize at the Schlingel International Film Festival.
