SNOWBALL

Snowball is a fantasy comedy set in the present day in a suburban home. It’s about a middle-aged couple who run a business together but whose marriage is in trouble. But then their recently deceased cat Snowball returns, reincarnated as a young woman. Unfortunately, she still has the habits and characteristics of a cat. They try their best to teach her how to behave like a human being, but without much luck. She winds up turning their lives upside down, which in the end is just what they needed to save their marriage.
