Fritz, now married and a father, is desperate to escape the domestic hell he now finds himself in. Lighting up a joint, he begins to dream about his eight other lives, hoping to find one to provide a pleasant distraction. The drug-induced journeys he takes include spells as an astronaut, Hitler's psychiatrist, a courier travelling in hostile territory during a race war, and as a pupil of an Indian guru in the sewers of New York.

VIBE

A trippy, adult animated journey through the mind of a jaded cat. Expect a surreal, psychedelic trip filled with social satire and a heavy dose of 70s counterculture. It's a wild ride through escapism and the absurd.
