Synopsis
A married couple and their three young adult children, a son and two daughters, live in a large compound with a garden and swimming pool. A tall fence surrounds the property and the children have never been on the other side of it, for their parents have kept them unaware of the outside world, even of the existence of the telephone. They are taught different meanings for everyday words. The parents promise that each child will be ready to venture outside the compound once she or he has lost a dogtooth. Although the children are told they have a brother just on the other side of the barrier, he never appears.Actors

Début du XVIII siècle. L’Angleterre et la France sont en guerre. Toutefois, à la cour, la mode est aux courses de canards et à la dégustation d’ananas. La reine Anne (Olivia Colman), à la santé fragile et au caractère instable, occupe le trône et joue avec ses 17 lapins, un pour chaque enfant qu'elle a perdu, tandis que son amie Sarah Churchill (Rachel Weisz), duchesse de Marlborough, gouverne le pays à sa place. Les plans de Sarah pour contrôler Anne sont ébranlés par Robert Harley (Nicholas Hoult), chef de l'opposition, qui, étant propriétaire de terres, est contre le doublement de taxes qui servirait à financer la guerre, au risque d'émeutes dans les campagnes.

Quatre personnes (une infirmière, un conducteur d'ambulance, une gymnaste et son entraîneur) ont créé une sorte de troupe d'acteurs qu'ils ont appelé Alps par ironie car selon eux, aucune montagne ne peut réellement se substituer à une autre montagne. Ils jouent les rôles de personnes décédées dans la vie de tous les jours des proches des disparus afin de leur permettre peu à peu d'accepter leur perte et de faire leur deuil. Les quatre premières séances sont gratuites. La « troupe » dirigée d'une main de fer par le conducteur d'ambulances, dont le nom de code est « Mont-Blanc » n'accepte pas tous les rôles. En effet, les recherches pour incarner les disparus sont très poussées afin de rendre le moindre détail crédible. Cependant, la « troupe » travaille dans la plus complète illégalité.

In 1944 in the Republic of Salò, the Fascist-occupied portion of Italy, four wealthy men of power, the Duke, the Bishop, the Magistrate, and the President, agree to marry each other's daughters as the first step in a debauched ritual. They recruit four teenage boys to act as guards and four young soldiers (called "studs", "cockmongers", or "fuckers"), who are chosen because of their big penises. They then kidnap nine young men and nine young women and take them to a palace near Salò. Accompanying them are four middle-aged prostitutes, also collaborators, who recount arousing stories for the men, who sadistically exploit their victims.

The film commences on a sunny summer day in Yorkshire when Tamsin (Emily Blunt) meets Mona (Natalie Press). The former travels on horseback and chances upon Mona, who is resting in the grass. The two girls come from completely opposing background; Tamsin is from an upper-middle-class family and has recently been suspended from boarding school for being a bad influence; drinking alcohol. Mona, on the other hand, comes from a dysfunctional family, and her brother, Phil (Paddy Considine), who has recently been released from prison, is the only remaining member of her family still alive. Both of the girls seem to regard their lives as mundane. The new acquaintances head home together, one on horseback and the other on an engineless scooter.
