CAPER FILM

rmdI want to see a caper film with a couple of queer women (romantically involved) as the protagonists. And we have various scenes of them in their home, talking about caper plans, and also chatting to/about the cat as folks do... "WHO'S A FUZZBALL?" and "Look at that big brown kitteh!"
We, the audience, find out that the antagonists have bugged their house, so we think the baddies are aware of all the plans. BUT! Things go off the rails for the baddies because the protagonists act in coordinated yet unexpected ways!
Later, as the antagonists survey the carnage, one of the folks who's been doing surveillance says something about the women's cats. A peripheral character, perhaps who's been marginalized by the baddies at various points in acts 1 and 2, looks at them in puzzlement. "Their cats both died last year..."
CUT TO FLASHBACK - One of the women points an audio surveillance bug out to the other. We revisit various scenes of the women talking to/about cats, this time with subtitles. Like a "guess the serial number on a dollar bill" mentalist act, they've been communicating in code, nonsensical chatter ostensibly to the cats is actually a conversation about plans. "WHO'S A FUZZBALL?" spoken to a cluttered (and cat-free) closet might translate to "Is the shipment on time?"
At the end of the film after our main plot's denoument, we see the protagonists on a couch, playing with two new kittens, calling them by names related to the caper. The women share a kiss. Fade to white. Roll credits.
