The Cat, Me and Another Cat

猫と私と、もう1人のネコ

Sakura Kiyose (Riru Yoshina), a high school student in the art club, wants to go to Tokyo to study at an art college, but her mother Tamaki (Yo Hitoto), who does not expect her daughter to leave home, does not listen… Sakura's father, Koichi (Kanji Tsuda) returns home after a long absence. Sakura and Tamaki, looking forward to Koichi’s return, spend time together as a family, but they end up arguing as they discuss their future plans. In contrast, Koichi wants to respect his daughter’s wishes. Tamaki tries to one-sidedly express her own feelings and finally kicks Koichi out of the house. Just at the awkward mother-daughter relationship, Sakura receives a call that Tamaki has collapsed at work! Sakura anonymously posts her feelings that she can’t tell anyone on social media and seeks solace in a stray cat she meets by chance.
