English Title: Diamonds of the Night

Directed by: Jan Nemec

Synopsis: A dream-like film in which two Jewish boys (Ladislav Jánsky and Antonín Kumbera) escape from their World War II German captors into the woods.

Kitty Cameos: Throughout the film, flashbacks of the boys’ lives are shown as memories or dreams, or perhaps even fantasies. An elderly woman is seen looking down onto a street from a window with a tabby cat beside her.

Later in the film a white cat joins them at the window.

The white cat can also be seen in the window during a shot of one of the boys walking down the street.

Final Mewsings: Cats appreciate those who are trying to escape.
