She is often treated more like a servant than a child by her single mother and two brothers, bearing the brunt of domestic chores after school. The title, Novemberkatzen , serves as a metaphor for children like Ilse—those born into difficult circumstances who must fight for survival in a bleak environment, much like cats born in the harsh month of November.

Why cats? In German folklore, cats are witches’ familiars. In 1986 Berlin, they were also survivors—feral populations living in the death strip (the Todesstreifen ). Novemberkatzen likely repurposed the cat as an anti-heroic figure: neither dissident nor collaborator, but an animal that slips through ruins, ignored by border guards. The November setting recalls the 1918 German Revolution (Novemberrevolution) and the 1938 pogroms (Reichskristallnacht). By 1986, November had become a month of remembrance and gloom. The film’s cats thus carry historical weight—silent carriers of a past that will not bury itself.
