Movie Description Overworked Parisienne Chloe takes leave of her flat for an overdue vacation, only to discover upon her return that her cat, Gris-Gris, has taken a vacation of his own and can't be found. Her search leads her on a voyage through her shabby, bohemian neighborhood, which is haunted by the twin specters of gentrification and social decay. Atmospheric, funky, and full of improvisational spirit.
