"Considering all I've sacrificed is it too much to ask for one little cat in return?" Shinako
has been ousted from her marriage by her husband Shozo and his younger lover Fukuko. She's lost
her home status and respectability but the only thing she longs for is Lily the elegant
tortoiseshell cat she shared with her husband. As Shinako pleads for Lily's return Shozo's
reluctance to part with the cat reveals his true affections and the lengths he'll go to hold
onto the one he loves most. A small masterpiece A Cat a Man and Two Women is a study of
Japanese society and manners and an oddball comedy about a love triangle in which the only
real rival is feline.
