MONTREAL LATIN AMERICAN FILM FESTIVAL

After the death of his wife, Elías, an 80-year-old widower with suicidal thoughts, sees his quiet neighborhood disrupted by the sudden arrival of a scruffy stray cat. What begins as an annoyance slowly turns into an unexpected spark of life in this sharp, dark comedy about grief, second chances, and the strange companions that keep us going. The most popular film in Ecuador in 2025, it proves that sometimes salvation arrives with claws.

One of the film’s actors will be present at the screening.
