COMING UP
EAT PRAY BARK
The dog comedy has been available to stream on Netflix since April 1, where it got off to a strong start at the top of the film charts. The leading roles are played by Alexandra Maria Lara, Devid Striesow, and numerous four-legged friends. The film was produced by Olga Film and directed by Marco Petry.
In the story, five different dog owners head to the Tyrolean mountains with their four-legged friends to take an intensive course with the legendary dog trainer Nodon. The group soon realizes that it is actually they themselves, rather than the animals, who are undergoing a kind of therapy.
