Tomcat

Nahaufnahme einer grauen Katze, die von einer Hand gestreichelt wird; roter Text mit Filmfestival-Auszeichnungen, den Namen der Schauspieler Lukas Turtur und Philipp Hochmair, dem Filmtitel KATER und dem Regisseur Händl Klaus auf dunklem Hintergrund.

Andreas and Stefan lead a happy and passionate life: Together with their beloved tomcat Moses, they live in a beautiful old house in Vienna's vineyards. They work as a musician and as a scheduler in the same orchestra and they love their large circle of friends. An unexpected and inexplicable outburst of violence suddenly shakes up the relationship and calls everything into question – the blind spot that resides in all of us.
