Animation feature film, in development
Synopsis
As summer comes to an end on the small Greek island, young cat Chantal is back in the stray life after a luxurious couple of months fostered by a family on vacations. Unfortunately, the touristic village where she was born has turned into a ghost-town ahead of winter.
Persuaded of her domesticated nature, Chantal sets on an odyssey across the island in search of the right human to adopt her. Along come the rest of the cats left behind: Tonto, her brother/hopeless bodyguard, Tomcat Khrushchev, lady Lele, old castrato Pericles and non-stop-purring Purr-Purr.
Surviving through the wilderness will turn into a coming of age journey for Chantal. Thus when she finally meets the one, she will need to question her true nature one last time before surrendering to domesticated life.
