Synopsis

A tale of "infidelity among friends" exploring trust, romance and featuring three people and a canine. Isabel recalls a trio of relationships - one with a man in the middle of discovering he is gay, another with a man who doesn't like the smell of Isabel's pet dog, and the last with her friend Ruth. Creator Fiona Samuel (TV's Marching Girls) intended her short film to combine two perspectives: one the world as the main character perceives it, and another as things might appear to the casual observer.
