A German language animation about cats. You'll notice the rating on the box is a 12, but I suspect that in other territories it might be higher because there's graphic violence, adult themes, and the kind of language that often gets kids in trouble with their parents. It's the story of Francis, the new cat on the block. A number of brutal cat murders have occurred prior to his moving there, and they show no signs of stopping. Francis attempts to uncover the truth about why they're happening and the identity of who is responsible.
It's a noir story with a cat in the lead detective role; the usual thuggish nasties and lowlifes that you often get in the genre are also represented.
Animation is smooth and realistic and the audio, though simple, is good - the soft sound of cat paws on wood is one of life's best sounds.
