Late one night| a beautiful and well-dressed young woman| Grace| arrives in the mountainous old mining town of Dogville as a fugitive; following the sound of
gunshots in the distance which have been heard by Tom| the self-appointed moral spokesman for the town. Persuaded by Tom| the town agree to hide Grace| and in return
she freely helps the locals. However| when the Sheriff from a neighbouring town posts a Missing notice| advertising a reward for revealing her whereabouts| the
townsfolk require a better deal from Grace| in return for their silence; and when the Sheriff returns some weeks later with a Wanted poster| even though the citizens
know her to be innocent of the false charges against her| the town's sense of goodness takes a sinister turn and the price of Grace's freedom becomes a workload and
treatment akin to that of a slave. But Grace has a deadly secret that the townsfolk will eventually encounter.
A challenging piece of experimental filmmaking.
