Film Synopsis
Sally and Oliver spend most of their time in a makeshift hangout deep in the hills of the Czech Republic. Secluded from the rest of the world, the two children find freedom in shooting a slingshot, listening to music, and spending time with a stray cat that has taken a particular liking to Oliver. As Sally grows envious she shoots and kills the animal while her brother isn’t looking. When she attempts to take further control of the situation by preparing a cremation, Oliver steals the cat and escapes into the hills with fifty-tethered balloons and a canvas bag.
