I tend to avoid dog-themed stuff, because the blind spot of humanity is just growing, and the dog cult has long since left the level of sacred cows, but this is worth checking out. It's a twisty story, and combines trauma healing, landmine awareness, self-sacrifice, heroism and more, all the way to The Fox of The Little Prince. The filmmaking is simple, clean and consistent. The opening dialogue in the village was rather clichéd and exaggerated, but what happened next in the forest is classic. It is interesting that the ex-soldier is a woman. It is not highlighted, but it made good to the movie. But the real strength of the short film is the inventiveness of the story.
