Welcome to a world where cats experience complex philosophical thought and existential pain. Love & Murder are two house cats, brother and sister, who are thrust from domestic comfort into a cruel world. The cats remember infinite bowls of milk and the honeyed voice of their owner “Lady,” who catered to their every whim. The days of on-demand feeding and ample sun spots in the garden have come to an end. Lady’s multiple coos oozing with affection have stopped. Now the two cats are strangers wandering in a strange land.

Among the Dutch, the artist Anselm Kiefer and the author Anne Frank, there is a connection that is found in silence. On Sunday, May 4, 2025, a two-minute period of silence brought the city of Amsterdam to a halt. The streetcars stopped running. The streets emptied. No cars, bicycles or people. Boats stayed moored on the canals. The trees across the road in Vondelpark appeared still. The sun seemed to hide behind the clouds. Life did not stir for two minutes.
