Director's Notes
«I will never forget the worried eyes of my dog Hooper - at the beginning of the homeland war, when she was less than one year old, during air raid alerts and bombings - fixed on my parents and me, as she tried to read our reactions in those moments. It would mark her throughout her puppyhood. Now, at the New Year's holidays, when many young (but also older) people set off fireworks, she reacts just as she did 16 years ago. I wanted to record the way the animals react to this piercing noise».
