10 Promises to my Dog

A coming-of-age drama without the angst, just a dog and a girl growing up in parallel. Akari bonds with her puppy Socks during a fragile time, but life pulls her toward college, career, and city living, leaving Socks behind with someone who stays put. The film quietly tracks the years, carried by small regrets and the weight of forgotten promises.
