These Wild cats

Synopsis

Away from the world, in a cobbled-together shack, Martin’s life is organized. Surrounded by a forest of spruce trees and scraps of metal, this indomitable loner patches together a new existence with his pack of cats. The disappearance of Junior, one of his felines, upsets his daily routine and brings back memories of the past.

Composed of fragments of life and fragile confessions, DES CHATS SAUVAGES plunges us into a territory and human nature of harsh beauty. Guided by a cinema of almost total incursion, the film explores themes of mourning and emancipation, while questioning our relationship with marginality.
