Plot summary
Laika, a stray dog, was the first living being to be sent into space and thus to a certain death. A legend says that she returned to Earth as a ghost and still roams the streets of Moscow alongside her free-drifting descendants. While shooting this film, the directors little by little realised that they knew the street dogs only as part of our human world; they have never looked at humans as a part of the dogs’ world.

Story is sad but I Laika
Nothing to do with space
Laika, the dog the Soviets sent into space, came from the streets of Moscow. This is a film about stray dogs roaming the streets of Moscow. That's the only link.
The dogs set off car alarms, pop balloons, and then kill a cat, which is the point at which I stopped watching. Maybe the empty, vacuous violence is some sort of metaphor for modern Russia, but I couldn't see why I should bother to decode it.
