Adrian Țofei aimed to unexpectedly end a dark, violent and twisted movie with a very pure feeling, hence the final word – “love” – deliberately in high contrast with the rest of the film.

Be My Cat is the first installment in Adrian Țofei's planned indie trilogy which includes We Put the World to Sleep and Pure. All three movies are radically different from each other, yet together they form a cohesive universe.
