Dog Days

A young man clings to the last remaining piece of his relationship: his ex’s dachshund. In this loosely animated film, the pet serves as a metaphor of his inability to let go. While he is moping with the animal’s hind quarters, his ex has picked up the thread and walks through town with the dog’s front part. For how long will this relational sorrow be stretched – literally and figuratively?
