OFFICIAL SECTION: FEATURE FILMS
Tomcat
Andreas and Stefan are two musicians who live happily together in Vienna, in a lovely home with their cat, Moses. They work with the same orchestra, have good friends, similar interests and a promising future. However, one morning, Stefan suddenly loses control and strikes at the intimate heart of their relationship.

From then on, the peace, love and harmony of the film are lost as the two battle to overcome the obstacles of mistrust, scepticism and alienation. Whilst Stefan gradually falls to pieces, Andreas fights for his love. This intimate, finely-drawn portrait of a couple received the prize for Best LGBT Film at last year’s Berlinale.
