Life With Herman Rott (ELU HERMAN H. ROTT’IGA)
by Chintis Lundgren (Estonia/Croatia/Denmark 2015, 11’)
Herman H. Rott is a punk rat who only cares about drinking, smoking and listening to grindcore music. His life changes when he decides to go and live with his partner, a cat who loves housecleaning, Tchaikovsky, Vivaldi, Bach and Beethoven. The cohabitation exerts surprising effects on Herman, to the point of making him obsessed with order and tidiness. But maybe the new Herman is not so enticing anymore…
