A filmmaker talks about his work and love life with an unseen friend behind the camera. We also watch four of his short films.

Matchmaking Dog

Higepon is 46. He has never had luck at work and never has had a boyfriend. As he attempts suicide, he laments: “My life is shit. I wish I had just one kiss with a hot man like a go-go boy.” Then suddenly a dog appears. He then takes this dog to his watering hole, where he meets Ten, a super hot guy sitting next to him. Ten tells him “You’re hot. Let’s forget the bad stuff” and gives him a bear hug. Higepon is thrilled, never having experienced this much luck in his life. However, the miracles that this dog brings have only just started.
