Distributor: Rights Available.
The Gist: This tells the story of a thirty-something couple who, on deciding to adopt a stray cat, change their perspective on life, literally altering the course of time and testing their faith in each other and themselves.

Cast: Miranda July and Hamish Linklater

Release Date/Status?: Sundance and Berlin premieres should make this a sought after acquistions title.
