synopsis

Sometime in the late Cretaceous age, a fierce Tyrannosaurus Rex dreams about a cute little kitten. It is a dream that ushers in a new phase of his life. Determined to recover the kitten, he abandons his daily routine of hunting, eating and sleeping and sets out to explore the world around him.The story is visualised as a documentary-style re-enactment of dinosaur behaviour. With a dreamy montage and cutting across animation styles (combining stop-motion and drawn animation, with bits of 3D and live-action), this speculative behavioural study of dinosaurs evolves towards an actual study of the contemporary domestic cat, enacted by dinosaurs.
