Synopsis
A stray cat Teofrastus finds loving owners. Finally he has his very own territory in their country-house and he is happy and secure. But this happiness won’t last! When the fall comes, the new owners move to town, together with Teofrastus. On one gray day when Teofrastus is watching birds on the balcony of an apartment house, he just accidentally jumps down and gets lost among the very same-looking houses in a new block of the city. Will he find his owners and his own territory again? Or will the cold streets and indifferent looks from the strangers be his lot?
A film made in clay animation is telling us a story about the importance of finding your place and caring about each other in our world that is whirling too quickly.
