The Old Man and the Dog

Robert, a 60-year-old former cinematographer, is a lonely man with a past. Alcoholism destroyed his marriage and cut short his contacts with a film industry. His only friend is a dog that saved his life years ago. One day, Robert picks up the phone from the ex-wife who’s waiting in vain for a kidney transplant. This accident wakes him up from a solitary sleep.
