Film:Le Chat du Rabbin
Prithvi Theatre in association with Alliance Franaise de Mumbai, will screen Le Chat du Rabbin. Based on the best-selling graphic novel by Joann Sfar, the movie tells the story of a rabbi and his talking cat — a sharp-tongued feline philosopher brimming with scathing humour and a less than pure love for the rabbi`s daughter.
