These Wild Cats

Steve Patry

Away from the world, in a DIY cabin, Martin's life is organized. Surrounded by a forest of spruce trees and scrap metal carcasses, this indomitable loner patches up a new existence in the company of his pack of cats. The disappearance of Junior, one of his felines, disrupts his daily life and brings out reminiscences of the past. Composed of fragments of life and fragile confessions, THESE WILD CATS plunges us into the confines of a territory and human nature of harsh beauty. Guided by a cinema of almost total incursion, the film explores the themes of mourning and freedom, while questioning our relationship to marginality.
