Synopsis

Wagging Tale is the story of Rupak, who walks the streets of Kathmandu carrying 80 kgs of chicken bones every day with an unwavering mission: to feed the city’s street dogs. The film captures how, despite living with HIV and confronting the isolation that comes with having an estranged family, he finds a sense of purpose and a chance to forget his painful past while feeding dogs. The film follows Rupak’s journey, highlighting themes of love, loneliness, and the special connection between him and his four-legged companions, in whose eyes he finds a glimpse of what he’s looking for: a family to call his own.
