Logline
Maurice fears his aging dog is at risk of self-harm.
Synopsis
MAURICE (late 50s) lives alone with his aging dog TITO. When the dog begins to exhibit self-destructive behavior, Maurice takes steps to lift the dog from his depressive state. Tito’s mood grows more erratic until one day he vanishes. The dog’s disappearance is cause for Maurice to examine his relationship to mortality, finding some answers in a late-night infomercial for a new self-help technique.
