Berta (2013) 16

Serbia | 2013 | 6 min.

A heavy feeling of absence awakens a dachshund named Berta. She searches for her owner so they can play, but the only thing she finds is an empty bed. Berta hopelessly stares through the window with sadness in her heart, gazing at the snow covered road. Berta notices the horizon that joins the snow and sky and she knows that it is time for her to leave. Before she leaves she takes one last look at the empty room filled with warm memories and closes the door.
