Ten-year-old Nico finds Doge, a modified stray with no biological record. What begins with a stolen coin becomes a secret friendship, but in a city where every living thing must be registered, care itself can become evidence.

04 / Creation note
A film from an evolving universe.
Gold Collar is a self-contained animated short set within the Entchan universe. Built around a small friendship between a child and an unregistered animal, it explores how systems of identity and ownership can turn compassion into an offence—and how a simple object can carry memory after two lives are forced apart.
