Through a mix of animation and filmed sequences, "The Cat Way" shows us an original vision of the human-cat relationship. Long perceived as the animal of the Devil, it was only after the French Revolution that the cat came to embody individual liberty.

From the 19th century to today, "The Cat Way" observes what has become of these libertarian aspirations.

Die-hard fans of the 1980s, Vincent and Antoine run a company that supplies doubles of faded stars throughout the whole of France. What starts out as a promising business venture ends up as a calamity when Vincent and Antoine have over forty engagements booked but no one to attend them. They then have a brainwave. Why not get in touch with the real stars of the 1980s and persuade them to make a comeback? Why make do with an imitation when you can have the real McCoy?
