In a fantastic scenario, a dog watches a house fire from far away. Perhaps the dog had come to seek its shelter, perhaps he knew that place to be inhabited by human beings from which he could have taken refuge. It is night time and the fire is great, the flames completely envelop the house and what is contained, the men have fled and the dog is still observing the metamorphosis of the fire. The images of the video are created on a loop that gives the illusion, together with the soundscape of a longer duration, of being in front of perpetual fire. The house remains in an unreal suspension between the flames and the domesticated animal is in a state of broken dependence.
