Part of Hyde & Seek

Part of Leeds Young Film Festival

11-year-old Karin isn’t happy when her father leaves her at her grandfather’s temple. She's even more unhappy when she's left in the care of her grandfather's cat Anzu, a giant talking cat that rides a moped and spends a bit too much time gambling.. Although a disastrous match at first, the two bond through Karin's wish to be with her deceased mother once again on the anniversary of her death. Together, this unlikely duo set off on an extraordinary, magical journey, where they even find themselves on the path down to the underworld itself!
