The Intention behind Púca

This film is ultimately created as a tribute to my late dog Púca. I wanted to create a film that shows our memories together in a meaningful way. For this reason, much of the writing and animation are based on real habits and videos of Púca. The film explores the experience of losing a pet, and how it can often feel like they are still present in all of their favourite spots.
