Based on a short story “Popi and Huhuu” by Friedebert Tuglas.
Synopsis
A dog Popi and a monkey Huhuu are waiting for their Master to come home and one day he is just not coming any more… From this particular day there starts their mutual life. Popi, being actually smarter and stronger capitulates in front of monkey’s whims symbolising with it his obedience and submissiveness. In the other hand, Huhuu symbolises licentiousness and silliness.
Interpretation
It’s the truth, more viral than a dream, and a dream, more scary than the truth.
