The Heart of Flanders A Boy, His Dog, and a Dream
Nello Daas is a gifted young artist living in a small village just outside Antwerp, Belgium. He earns a modest living selling milk at the city market, helping his ailing grandfather. His best friend, Alois Cogez, is the daughter of a stern landlord who believes Nello is unworthy of her friendship. Fearing their bond, Alois's father sends her away to a prestigious school in Antwerp, determined to keep them apart.

While continuing his daily market runs, Nello learns about an art contest honoring the famous Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens. The contest offers not only a monetary prize but also the opportunity to study art in the same city where Alois is now enrolled. Inspired, Nello sets out to create a piece that will capture the judges' attention and secure his future.

As he battles numerous obstacles and setbacks, Nello’s loyal dog, Patrasche, whom he saved from a cruel owner, stands steadfastly by his side. Together, they face the trials of friendship, ambition, and resilience in "Flanders no Inu." This reimagined tale explores the enduring bond between a boy and his devoted canine companion as they journey toward their dreams, no matter the cost.
