Acerca de la película
What if the cats and dogs we see every day had a secret world of their own—one hidden from human eyes? The Catfather invites viewers into an imaginative feline gangster society where cats and dogs preserve the traditions of the past, keeping their world concealed from humans. While the human world moves forward, this hidden society continues to rely on old-fashioned tools, familiar customs, and traditional ways of life, protecting a way of living that humans know nothing about. At the heart of this unusual world is the culture of the feline underworld, where loyalty, rivalry, romance, and music are woven into everyday life. Yet the concerns of these characters are not always what humans might expect. Yarn, food, relationships, and the small pleasures and frustrations of being a cat all have their place in this distinctive society. Blending a gangster-inspired atmosphere with humor, romance, and musical elements, The Catfather offers a playful and imaginative look at the lives our animal companions might lead beyond our awareness. Beneath their familiar appearances, cats and dogs may have customs, ambitions, relationships, and secrets of their own. After watching this film, you may find yourself questioning the behavior of cats and dogs around you. Their seemingly ordinary actions might never look quite the same again—and everyday life may hold more mysteries than you ever imagined.
