The Name of the Cat

Three very Mexican love stories narrated by fourteen cats.

The first loves of Beto and Marcelo, two young students from Saltillo at Monterrey Tech, for Alejandra and Marielena, take them on a road of discovery of their full being and potential. We get along with their stories guided by the numerous cats that live around them, encountering a world of music and adult disillusions that might derail their best efforts.
