Laika 萊卡

The title of this animation is the name from the Soviet space dog who became one of the first animals in space, and the first animal to orbit the Earth. It is a story about a leading role and hero named Laika in a good selling manga for many years. Laika made his best to finish the mission. This time is a general mission.The adventure as usual. But something different. Laika didn't overcome in this time. Laika let its life just go but no pain, only choice.

In the space of the story, it is between the dream and reality. Or a story happen between the three-dimensional and two-dimensional. I will not say it just a dream because it is the reality in regard to Laika. 

Death is good.As we have the end, we feel the good of life. This is the reason why Laika catch the chance to end its life with a smile. Hero can do anything; They can overcome every time; Their story will not end forever. Therefore I think sometime the image of hero may become a cage to the character. No one care about the shadow of a hero. Although Laika have the same name and ending with Soviet space dog, They are different because one have a choice and one haven't.

In this story, I don't want to show too much to talk what I want to said. It can be a simple story, or more than it. It is based on what you think.
