'Akira Mizubayashi is a man whose dog, Melodie, taught him what it means to be human.' RAIMOND GAITA

Akira Mizubayashi's attachment to Melodie profoundly transforms how he lives his life and makes him reimagine the nature of relationships between humans and animals.
In his homage to Melodie, Mizubayashi offers a moving account of faithful love and compromise.
