A girl slowly beings to physically lose herself after the death of her beloved dog. As she sinks deeper into this trauma the dog comes to visit her in a dream that turns out to be more sinister than she had anticipated.

“Pulling from Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung’s theories of the unconscious and precognitive dreams, this film emphasises the importance of symbolism in dreams and how trauma can be stored and festered in the human body. ”
