Standing with a friend in front of a pet shop window, a young girl describes how she felt witnessing her father's neglect of their childhood pet. With the support of an external and gentle force, she gradually came to understand her father.
It is a story about the pet dog, but gradually, the film reveals that it is also the story of the girl herself. The artist experimented with the use of multiple materials and different drawing styles to distinguish between the present and memories, as well as to express different emotions. The dialogue only serves as additional support to the narrative conveyed through the images.
