'monkeyrating: 7.5/10waddabout: a car crash connects three lives of three entirely different dog owners dealing with harsh life issues like loss, regret and abandonment - in the name of love.isay: must watch to see what can be done with simple cinematic techniques and a good story. nothing 'high-budget' about this film in its treatment and yet the story sinks into you slowly over time. maybe a tad too slow for those who love gruelingly fast movies.monkeyrespect to: GAEL GAR(...)'
