SAY wuff!
Fiction • Germany • 2024 • 17min • 16mm
‘Say Wuff!’ is Podeszwa’s declaration of love to the beauty of simplicity to quirky oddities of life and to the one and only believable truth:
»Wuff!«
»Wuff!«
Set in the streets of an unknown german city in the 90s - Jakarta, a 21-year-old Indonesian, is obsessed with the legendary stories his father told him as a child. Just like in those stories, he wants to create something special. When he falls in love with a mysterious, blue-haired hairdresser, he decides to gather all his friends and create the greatest magic trick ever seen.
