Animated short, 2013
" Berta" is my graduation project, an animated drama. I dedicated it to my best friend, and the main actor is her dog Berta. It is a true story about eternal love and undying friendship.
The heavy feeling of absence awakes the dachshund named Berta. She searches for her owner so they can play, but the only thing she comes across is an empty bed. Hopelessly Berta stares through the window with sadness in her hearth, gazing at the snow covered road. Berta notices the horizon that joins the snow and sky and she knew that it was time for her to leave. Before leaving she takes one last look at the empty room filled with warm memories and closes the door.
