Everywhere and always… a cat

Sometimes it is the simplest encounters that leave the deepest mark.

Living with Fidel tells, through the eyes of little Maria Markella, the story of a special friendship with her beloved cat Fidel. It is a gentle cinematic story about love, trust, empathy and the deep bond that can grow between a person and an animal.

The film received a Special Mention at the Pet Carpet Film Festival in Rome for the sensitivity and authenticity with which it tells this unique relationship.

In Maria Markella’s words

“

If your heart is open, if you are ready to love, you will always find love… or perhaps love will find you, even when you cannot see it clearly.

Maria Markella

A simple sentence that reminds us how the most important relationships grow from care, trust and everyday presence. Because sometimes a cat can teach us far more than we imagine.
