The four-minute film, created by German film students and inspired by a Brazilian comic strip, begins with a scene familiar to any teenager.

Eventually, curiosity overcomes the boy and he opens the box to find a puppy! At first he’s excited, but upon seeing that the pup is missing a leg, he tosses it aside with disgust. Not to be deterred, the puppy, continues to compete for the boy’s attention. The boy finally admits defeat and gets up to play with the dog.
