, 1h31
Origin Danemark
Genres Comedy, Action, Crime

Arvid, a bank teller, is dumped by his girlfriend for being too boring and dull. Hoping to put some excitement in his life, Arvid helps stop a robbery at the bank. The wife of the would-be bank robber tracks Arvid down and tells him her husband was robbing the bank only so he could pay for medical treatments so they could have a child. The title is a reference to an axiom Arvid's brother tells him: "In China, they eat dogs"; which makes him realize that there is no such thing as moral absolutism, and that whether something is right or wrong depends on the situation. Because of his revelation, he comes to sympathize with the bank robber. Imagining he can help the couple and prove himself to be a dangerous outlaw all at once, Arvid plots a robbery of his own bank with the help of his brother Harald and some fellow wannabe criminals.

L'histoire commence en 1882 à Saint-Pétersbourg, en Russie. Sacha est une jeune fille russe de l'aristocratie. Son grand-père Oloukine, qu'elle admire et aime beaucoup, est un grand explorateur qui a disparu à bord de son brise-glace, le Davaï, parti en expédition scientifique à la conquête du pôle Nord. Le tsar reproche au défunt grand-père de Sacha d'avoir perdu le Davaï, un brise-glace à la coque extrêmement résistante qu'il avait fait construire à grands frais. Il a promis une récompense d'un million de roubles à qui retrouverait le Davaï, mais les recherches menées pour retrouver le brise-glaces n'ont rien donné. Un jour, Sacha découvre par hasard un feuillet manuscrit de la main d'Oloukine indiquant qu'il n'a pas emprunté le chemin que l'on croyait pour gagner le pôle nord : il n'est pas passé par l'est mais par l'ouest. Le soir même, les parents de Sacha donnent un bal où est invitée la haute société pétersbourgeoise, dont le prince Tomsky, qui vient d'être nommé nouveau conseiller scientifique du tsar. Ce bal doit être le premier où Sacha sera présentée à la haute société. La jeune fille a écouté à la dérobée une conversation du prince et sait que celui-ci déteste Oloukine. Elle accepte néanmoins d'ouvrir le bal avec lui, mais, pendant et après la danse, elle tente de le convaincre que les secours n'ont pas cherché le Davaï au bon endroit. Le prince Tomsky en prend prétexte pour faire un scandale et humilier publiquement Sacha et ses parents. La famille de la jeune fille tombe alors en disgrâce.
