About the film
In a seemingly ordinary home, two cats have perfected the ultimate art: trying to disconnect humans from the digital world and force them to do something they've been avoiding for years... talk to each other. Leia is an elegant, cold, and calculating cat, while Mia is more impulsive, gluttonous, and chaotic. A domestic comedy told from the perspective of the true owners of the house, who were always there, silently observing.
