Plots(1)
Euthanizer tells the story of Viejo, a 50-year-old mechanic who has a sideline putting sick animals to sleep more cheaply than the local veterinarian. He has a special bond with the animals, and does his work humanely, even playing soothing music during the animal's final moments. But he's also an angry man who prefers animals to people and has a grudge to bear with his father, who lies in hospital. Things come to a head when Petri, a frustrated member of the local nationalist group, takes his dog to be euthanized and becomes enraged when Viejo saves the dog instead. (Cinemax)
