    • Synopsis
    • Mimi is a brave, scruffy dog belonging to Evi, a little girl. One day, playing in a wheat field with her owner,
      Mimi sees the whole world around her falling apart, the fields and Evi vanishing before her fearful eyes.
      Summoning all her courage, she hurls herself into the white nothingness! In the present day, Harold, another
      dog, a real one, is with his owner, Lori, in a gallery. Harold, who aspires to be an artist, is waiting for
      inspiration to strike. Mimi, a painted dog, gradually wins over the proud and superior Harold, by showing
      him - a highbrow lover of art - her ability to leap into paintings. Travelling together through their greatest
      adventure and the dizzying history of painting, from Da Vinci to Kandinsky, the doggy duo will need to be
      brave and clever in their race against time - as the artworks around them begin to disappear. Only Harold,
      with his fine knowledge about art, can guide her through the masterworks of the past, to find Evi and her
      true place in art history.
