The story

What Is As If About?

The premise of As If without spoilers.

On a summer day three forest friends—a bear cub, a hare and a squirrel—grow bored with their usual woodland games. They decide to stage a jungle hunt: the bear declares himself the hunter, the hare pretends to be a wild beast, and the squirrel takes on the role of a dog, though its imagined dog is timid and the squirrel’s imagination proves limited.
