Shadow of the Cat
2021, Spanish. Directed by José María Cicala.
How many lives will it take?
Gato lives on a remote farm with his teenage daughter Emma where without even basic communications tools they’re entirely cut off from the outside world. But once Emma comes into possession of a phone, she’s contacted by a party claiming to be working on behalf of her mother, who her father claimed abandoned her at birth. Infuriated, Emma heads off on a journey of self-discovery to reconnect with her mother, all the while Gato and his best pal Sombra (Danny Trejo) race to rescue her from the grim fate she’s unknowingly heading towards.
