Während der elfjährige Berci einen Nachmittag allein mit seinem Hund verbringt kämpft er mit den Eindrücken, die der heftige Streit seiner Eltern am Vortag bei ihm hinterlassen hat. Als seine unterdrückten Gefühle an die Oberfläche dringen, lässt er seine Wut und Aggression in angespannten und emotionalen Interaktionen mit seinem Hund heraus. Diese schonungslosen Gefühlsäußerungen helfen Berci schließlich, Erleichterung zu finden und die stille, verwandelnde Kraft der Versöhnung zu entdecken.
