Summary from inside the case: An independent and persistent cat runs into danger a she tries to rejoin her kittens, crossing the countryside in a cart en route to a new home. Told without words, this live-action picaresque tale from Hungary charms by the extraordinary performance of its star; its mood of excitement and suspense is created through the music and sound effects. As she chases the cart, the heroine’s resourcefulness is tested several times. Trapped by a hunter, she escapes - with the ingenuity and a daring leap - from having her skin hung as one more prize on his barn wall. After exhaustedly catching up with her litter she has to defend herself against the children’s pet DOG. After seeing the kittens safely settled in the DOGhouse, she sets out again for new adventures.
