Merci mon chien

Leaving soon

Ce court métrage d’animation raconte l’histoire de Fifi, un chien hors de l’ordinaire qui rêve de voyages interstellaires et de planètes à découvrir. Tout en faisant des pattes et des crocs pour plaire à papa, maman et aux enfants, l’animal de compagnie tente de subtiliser les articles scientifiques qui le passionnent. Un soir, à l’heure du repas, le toutou savant devient malgré lui le bouc émissaire de la famille… Merci mon chien est un récit humain à hauteur de toutou, un conte urbain sur le vivre-ensemble.
