Synopsis

Two kids spend their summer vacation in Riga, where they discover the local park is about to be teared-down. With the help of some talking dogs, they plan to save the scenic greenery from destruction.

Program Note

The environmental adventures of brave children and dogs who try to save a village with its legendary forest and ‘talking dogs’ from urban development, stunningly represented by glass and iron skyscrapers. Jacob, Mimmi and the Talking Dog is a Latvian animation, in which digital cut-out images brilliantly embody analog-like aesthetics. (Ellen Y. D. KIM)
