Jacob, Mimmi and the Talking Dogs

Jēkabs, Mimmi un runājošie suņi

60th TIFF: Greek Premiere

Jacob dreams of becoming an architect, spending his time drawing and daydreaming. When Jacob is sent to spend a week with his know-it-all cousin Mimmi, in a decadent yet historical district of Riga, he will be drawn into an unknown world of adventure, friendship and miracles, as this mismatched duo will engage in a mission to save the local park from a greedy tycoon. In times of trouble, a little help from our friends is always required and in Jacob and Mimmi’s case, a pack of loyal – and most importantly – talking quadrupeds is watching their backs!
