Logline

DEDE IS DEAD

The death of a beloved pet is a difficult thing to deal with. Even if we try to prepare for it, it always seems to come too soon. Without dialogue but with great compassion, this film tells the story of a boy and his dog, Dede, who suddenly passes away. Empathetic images express the universal and at the same time very individual process of mourning, during the course of which color slowly returns to the life of the young protagonist.



  • Duration: 8 min.
