Based on a true story, Rey is about a boy who was raised by stray dogs.
Rey has many problems at home. He must face the hostile environment in which he lives, marked by his mother’s instability and alcoholism. On good days, his mother takes care of him, but on bad days, she yells at him and insults him.
Everything gets worse when Rey’s mother starts dating Ulric, a violent policeman who abuses her. Unable to bear the situation, Rey decides to run away from home. Alone and adrift, he is forced to live on the street and finds shelter under some pipes near the train tracks. That is when Rey is adopted by a stray dog who takes care of him. Soon, Rey becomes a member of the pack of dogs, straying further and further away from society, and forgetting how to interact with humans. Being with the pack will give Rey back the joy of life.
Rey ends up meeting a girl, through whom he is found by the police. Because of this, Rey will have to return to society and learn to exist again in the world of humans.
