Sick Dog

Winnie is dying (slowly – which is the worst way to go). She is despondent, miserable and fed up. She has isolated herself from her friends and family, but she is not alone. Eliza is the new top-model robot companion-carer, who looks after Winnie. Through God, pain, and Love Island, the two attempt to understand each other. These are two (sort of) beings who are desperate to love and be loved, in whatever form that takes. ‘Sick Dog’ asks questions about what it means to be human, the acceptance of death in a world that fears it and our future as maybe not the only creatures with the capacity to love.
