Someone will be really happy: Lasse Linder wins the European Film Award 2020 with “All cats are gray at night”.

Christian lives with his two cats, Marmelade and Katjuscha. Since Christian, who calls himself “cat man”, desperately wants to become a father, he lets an exclusive hangover fertilize his beloved jam abroad.

And so begins a story that focuses on the idiosyncratic relationship between humans and cats.

It is precisely this story, star of the film “All cats are gray at night”, which has now won the European Film Award in the category of “Best Short Film” in 2020. The Central Swiss Film Office announced this Thursday night.
