synopsis

The Day the Dogs Disappeared is a story about fear and its insidious rhetoric. When the Haese's family's French bulldog disappears, Anna tries to protect her loved ones against an undefined threat. While procedures of the National Security Agency enter into force, a sense of fear is slowly creeping into the family's life. What once was familiar gradually becomes uncanny.
The Day the Dogs Disappeared is een verhaal over angst en de retoriek die angst veroorzaakt. Wanneer de Franse bulldog van de familie Haese verdwijnt, probeert Anna haar gezin te beschermen tegen een onbestemde dreiging. Terwijl de procedures van Nationale Veiligheid in werking treden, sijpelt de angst langzaam binnen. Wat vroeger vertrouwd was, wordt gaandeweg vreemd.
