When Max (Mahesh Mahadevan) and Min (Minara Hussain) break up, he’s forced to take care of Min’s cat, named Meowzaki after their favourite filmmaker – the Japanese animation legend Miyazaki Hayao. Having just lost his mother, having to deal with his allergy to cat fur, in addition to grief and heartbreak, Max finds a cat sitter for Meowzaki.
