Middle-aged celibate Christian lives with his two cats and his undying affection for his fury companions dubs him the king of cat lovers – the word inseparable seems an understatement for their relationship. The “Catman,” as Christian calls himself, is striving to get one of his cats impregnated by an exquisite tomcat and what sets out as an eccentric comedy portraying an unconventional bond soon transforms into a compassionate character study of a fragile soul. A lonely man’s quest for fatherhood proves that family is where our heart pumps with unconditional love.
