    "description": "<p>On the outskirts of Tokyo, in a neighbourhood overlooked by an elevated commuter railway, local cats weave their way through the lives and homes of their owners as they navigate difficult times.<br />A cat named Chobi sends silent messages of courage to a young woman who cannot bring herself to end a faltering relationship; a gifted artist fatally misunderstands her boss's enthusiasm for her paintings, just as her neglected cat Mimi gives birth; a manga fan shuts herself away after the traumatic death of her friend, while her cat Cookie hatches a plan to persuade her outside; the committed stray Kuro watches over a lonely woman who has dedicated her life to a cold husband and his parents.<br />Against the urban backdrop of humming trains and traffic, She and Her Cat explores the gentle magic of the everyday. Populated by both the friendly and the feral, it shows - with heartstopping simplicity and warmth - how even in our darkest moments, community and connection may lead us to a happier place.</p>",
