The cat escapes, but notices a deer stampede before it is caught in a flood. The cat and dogs survive the flood and reach higher ground. A yellow Labrador Retriever follows the cat to its abandoned cabin decorated with wooden cat sculptures. They both notice the water level rising rapidly. The Labrador joins the other dogs on a boat. As the flood consumes the cabin, the cat climbs atop a giant cat statue until the waters reach the top of the statue's head. As the rising water completely submerges the statue, the cat jumps into an approaching sailboat with a capybara aboard."

This animated feature film (the directors second) has no dialogue, only the sounds from the animals featured in the film. The film has a nice air surrounding the animals, in which you might think of the touch of the japenesse animation master Hayao Miyazaju, in his drawing line emotional style.
