Director Statement
With my film, I want to tell the viewer about dogs’ fidelity to man. It is the only animal on earth whose fidelity is unshakable. A long time ago, I read in a magazine an article from several stories about the return of pets after their death to their owners, to save them from death. I took these stories written from the witness’s words as a basis for my plot. Involuntarily, a second meaning appears in the film – the presence of a soul in animals and about the continuation of life after death.
