A cat named F.W. Murnau is the star attraction in this whimsical fantasy, created as a loving homage to Boris, feline performer from I AM THE NIGHT and TRIPLETIME. As Murnau tours a baroque landscape of cherished knickknacks and thrift-store discoveries, his curiosity takes a celestial leap to the heavens and back again, accompanied by the slow-dance rhythms of Duke Ellington's "Mood Indigo."
"A film postcard ... a pretty apt description of the delicious gaze her camera casts on an altar of icons, flowers, cats, and a disembodied head over the course of the film's four bewitching moments." - Ted Fry, Seattle Weekly
