Overview:

Pirat, a dog who can read and write, keeps a journal in which he records his observations of the world. Sent to the countryside with his young master, he discovers rural life, observes the animals, and reflects on their place in nature and his own. His encounter with another dog named Pirate, chained and reduced to a utilitarian role, leads him to question the meaning of freedom and existence. Through this naive yet philosophical perspective, the film offers a bittersweet reflection on identity, happiness, and the animal condition.
