Vieux chien

Details

Après avoir perdu sa copine Lucie, un vieux carlin nommé Henri dépend de son propriétaire, qui lui offre aide et compagnie. La scénariste et réalisatrice Ann Marie Fleming (La vie en Rosie) expose toute la tendresse des soins prodigués à un être vulnérable dans son nouveau court métrage d’animation, Vieux chien. Tous les chiens (et les gens) devraient être aussi chanceux et aimés que l’est Henri.
