This is a story about the European Union – specifically about how its ideals of unity and democracy collide with its policies regarding refugees. The EU’s appearance, which often contradicts its politics, is reflected in the animation, where the idyllic environment with colourful, cute and funny cats eventually clashes with the brutality of an inhumane deportation. The scenery is full of details (like scratches and bandages on the newcomer cats) hinting at a less civilized story about to be revealed. However, all these elements are subtle and leave space for different interpretations until the final scene when a clearer statement is amplified by the politically tinted score of Beethoven’s Ode to Joy.
