When the Cat's Away

France

A young single woman, living in a working-class neighborhood in Paris, loses her cat while away on vacation. To find it she enlists all the help she can find from her neighbors...the old women, the immigrants, the damaged...and through her efforts we discover with her the character of this small part of the yuppifying city. We also watch as she frabs around, desperately at times, seeking love and companionship.

Sweet, intelligent film. Sometimes painful, realistic, ultimately enlightening and moving...to the main character and to us. This is one of those quiet little gems that sneak by unnoticed.
