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.

Kat Hughes THN The Shadow of the Cat is a wonderfully bizarre, family-centered crime caper that finds its humour amongst the madness and works as an insanely enjoyable telenovela. Rated: 3/5 Jan 17, 2022 Full Review Emiliano Basile EscribiendoCine The story wanders from one register to another and clashes with its own impossible pretensions. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/10 Jan 5, 2022 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film It's all very handsomely shot, with a feisty soundtrack and ebullient sense of humour, but too often it feels as if it's just being quirky for the sake of it. Rated: 2.5/5 Nov 30, 2021 Full Review Anton Bitel VODzilla.co [in this] tale of two extended families... what at first seems a relatively simple scenario becomes ever more hallucinatory, so that by the end the viewer will be left unsure where they are and who (or indeed what) is real.
