Successful and renowned Hungarian-Polish director Tomek Ducki has in recent years been focusing on music videos – we saw one of his videos in our competition last year. Now he’s back with his colourful style and sensitive mix of several animation techniques. He combines the aesthetics of sand, hand drawing and pulsating abstract shapes.

The main heroine of this film loves animals, but unfortunately way too much. Most of all, she loves her cat which gradually becomes her whole world. Catherine lives detached from people and slowly turns into a crazy old cat lady. The author, who is particular about telling stories, can surprise her viewers at the right moment.

A music video by the renowned and successful Hungarian author Tomek Ducki elaborates and varies the relationship between a man and a woman. The author used original collages full of colours, motives and geometrical shapes.

This film was made at Film and TV School of Academy of Performing Arts in Prague, department of animation.
