Catisfaction
Portugal / Animation / 2022 / 0:06:35
This is a story about a man and a cat. It’s about relationships and how they can shape our life forever. But it’s also about a weird character and his cat who claims his way to the eternity. Maybe it’s just a story about a man and a cat. But a good one.
