Film Synopsis

Irena Gallier [Natassia Kinski] was raised by adoptive parents and is, for the first time since childhood, meeting her older brother Paul. Paul [Malcolm McDowell] lives alone in New Orleans with only his housekeeper Female (Fee-MAL-ee) [Ruby Dee] to look after him. Irena and Paul are descended from a line of 'cat people,' people who turn into panthers after mating and who must then kill in order to take human form again.
