A black and white film About an old man and his dog. There is no dialogue. Just ambient sounds -
First, of the alarm clock’s monotonous song. Followed by an abrupt cutting silence as his hand slams down on the snooze button
Then, the sound of a coffeemaker spitting and burbling. The coffee, pouring into a chipped mug. Sugar, then milk, the clink of the spoon against the ceramic as he stirs the long first sip
As the man looks curiously at something on the fridge, just out of frame. A bag of dogfood opening.
hard kibble ringing against the metal dish. The dog grumbling - impatiently waiting. Tupperware opening The hum of a microwave, and the beep. Last night’s stew poured into a bowl the rest, over the kibble.
The closed caption reads: [Enthusiastic, sloppy eating noises]
The sound of water running as the bowls are scrubbed clean.
The door closing as the two leave for their morning walk. The old man and the dog are now sitting on a park bench.
The grass, still wet from the morning dew. There is a beautiful sunrise over the nearby lake.
The camera pulls away, as music overtakes the diegetic sounds of nearby parkgoers, birds and runners, and teens playing hooky.
The camera cuts back to for a beat to the kitchen in the empty house.
The camera zooms in on a weathered and well loved piece of paper held up by a rainbow magnet on the refrigerator door.
