Premise

A young boy and his father live in a dull, lonely house with the shadow of mourning hanging over them both. The boy misses his mother and longs for reassurance about how his mother died but gets no comfort from his father's ascertains that she went peacefully. To protect each other, he and his father hold their agony inside, where it festers. This tragedy is added to by the family dog which is looking increasingly unhealthy.
