O GATO (The Cat)

(16 mm/Digital Beta, 58 min, color, 2004)

Each spring, the Cat arrives at the small town of Miramar on his bicycle, provoking jealousy in men and desire in women. But in the year that Cat meets Doroti, the beautiful and faithful wife of Pedro, the lighthouse keeper, the town’s daily life will be changed forever. A nonsense melodrama, a story of love and magic realism.
