โœฆ Synopsis

_

M?lodie_ is the heartfelt memoir of a Japanese man's life with his golden retriever--or rather of his golden retriever's life with him. Fidelity, patience, attachment, love and family ties are illuminated through the demands and joys of living with a large dog in a small apartment in Tokyo.

Akira Mizubayashi's attachment to M?lodie profoundly transforms how he lives his life and makes him reimagine the nature of relationships between humans and animals.

In his homage to M?lodie, Mizubayashi offers a moving account of faithful love and compromise.
