A frightened woman (Nicole Kidman) appears on the streets
of the isolated township of Dogville needing assistance. Gangsters arrive too,
looking for her and the town "philosopher" (Paul Bettany) covers up the fact
that she is there. After holding a town meeting it is decided that the woman may
stay in hiding in Dogville as long as she is willing to offer assistance and
services to the townspeople. Soon the residents increase their demands, and she
goes along, until one townsperson can no longer keep quiet. Also with Lauren
Bacall, Harriet Andersson and Jean-Marc Barr. Directed by Lars von Trier. [2:57]
