description: In Tokyo  one of the worlds largest megacities  a stray cat is wending her way through the back alleys. And with each detour she brushes up against the seemingly disparate lives of the city-dwellers connecting them in unexpected ways.But the city is changing. As it does it pushes her to the margins where she chances upon a series of apparent strangers  from a homeless man squatting in an abandoned hotel to a shut-in hermit afraid to leave his house to a convenience store worker searching for love. The cat orbits Tokyos denizens drawing them ever closer.
