Der Kopf der Katze

"At the height of the corona pandemic, for some people going to the supermarket turned into a strategic, well-planned combat mission. It was fascinating, but above all frightening, how quickly fault lines emerged between ‘me’ and the ‘others’. We are interested in how morality is shaped when the social environment and, consequently, certain rules of behaviour or social codes within a family structure change. The film is set in a near future that follows totally different laws and requirements, where a canine house slave can be perceived as a human-being, an avatar, or even an emissary from an alien planet. The particular appeal of this story for us was telling it in an unsettling way, keeping everything in limbo, and maintaining an openness to all its characters."
