SYNOPSIS
The short feature "Dogui" tackles the theme of globalization from an unexpected point of view, that of a dog. The characters are hand drawn and digitally animated against actual backgrounds.

The film shows how Dógui got so depressed that he couldn’t stand the pressure any longer and gave in to irrational hatred. And how, feeling betrayed by chance, he took matters into his own hands.
