In a drab West Berlin apartment, a middle-aged translator, Margot, cares for her dying mother while feeding a colony of stray cats in a vacant lot near the Wall. November rain erodes the boundary between indoors and out. A mysterious tomcat arrives, bearing a small metal capsule—possibly Stasi surveillance, possibly radioactive waste from the recent disaster (Chernobyl fallout reached Germany in May 1986). Margot descends into paranoid kinship with the animals. The final reel, degraded in the DVD rip, shows cats multiplying in her kitchen, their eyes reflecting the searchlights atop the Wall.
