The year is 1977 and Igor Polskiy is travelling abroad with his dog named Palma. At the very last moment she is not allowed on a plane and Polskiy leaves the dog right at the runway, flying off without her. Palma hides at the airport, hoping he’ll return one day. At the same time, Nicolas, a 9-year-old boy, arrives at the airport. His mother has died and now he has to live with his father, a respected pilot he barely knows. When these two lonely souls - Palma and Kolya - meet, it is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

A Dog Named Palma is inspired by an incredible true story. It is a story of amazing adventures, true friendship and unconditional love.
