Storyline

Torn by the recent death of his wife in a car accident, and still recovering from his wounds, Joel wakes up to find Elvis, her dog, dehydrated and on the verge of death. Unable to even take care of himself, he decides to abandon the dog and cut himself off from the world. But it won't prove to be easy, when he locks himself out of his house and is forced to confront memories of her. From multiple award winning short films and music video director Sergi Perez Gomez, comes the most personal promising start, a captivating and sensitive portrait of the hardest mourning.
