“Every dog has its day. Every day has its way of being forgotten.”
Alan, a balding film director, loses his fiancé's dog at a gender reveal party on the morning of an important shoot. A critic named Nick gives candid observations on a series of incomplete shorts that Alan has spent his own money making. As the pursuit of the lost dog and the chaos of the short films begin to blend, Alan grows desperate for the day to be over.
