Dog Ear

Section: Hungarian Competition VI.
Director: Vácz Péter
Runtime: 21 minutes
Country: Hungary

When Berci comes home from school, he finds traces of his parents' fight in the empty flat. As his repressed emotions surface in the quiet space, he takes out his anger and aggression in tense, emotional interactions with a dog, who has wandered into the apartment. The timelessness of the rare afternoon and the steady presence of the dog help Berci experience the quiet, transformative power of forgiveness.
