Cat Days

As Jiro suddenly seems to have lost his appetite for pancakes and syrup, his dad knows something’s not right. The doctor quickly figures it out: Jiro has cat flu.

In beautifully abstracted images and with deep devotion to detail, illustrator Jon Frickey tells an almost commonplace story. (Berlinale)
