A unique shelter for dogs in Europe, it is a place where stray dogs impounded daily on the outskirts of the city are brought. By showing the process of training these dogs, the film Adjusting establishes a parallel between dog shelters and societies in order to re-examine the hierarchies of power, as well as the relativity of any authority that achieves obedience by means of reward and punishment.

Dejan Petrović was born in 1974 in Užice, in Serbia. He graduated in TV Directing from the Academy of Arts in Belgrade, where he is currently a professor at the department of Film and TV Directing and Editing. He is a screenwriter, director, producer and founder of the Independent Film Centre Filmart. He is a member of the Association of Documentary Filmmakers of Serbia.
