Nelle (25) and Frances (31) are - each in their own way - unhappy with their relationship. Days plod along without any sparks or fireworks, yet it seems neither of the girls can be bothered trying harder: they now only communicate their annoyances. When Nelle is suddenly made responsible for the life of a mysterious stranger's cat, things change. Both young women have a different take on how to care for another living creature. The arrival of the pet forces the girls' relationship to be reexamined.
