Ladi­da

We get to know our protagonist Amalia in the comfort of her apartment: a sacred playground where she spends hours forgetting about time. She begins to form a bond with a cat who becomes a usual guest. Less so with the cat’s owner, her neighbor, who anticipates Amalia to be a more active participant in her own life. Through the unexpected pregnancy of Cat, their different ways of approaching life clash. This film is about longing or not longing, and the question if we all need to have something to wish for.
