Take Care of My Cat - it's a 2001 South Korean film, and it's brilliant. It's set in Incheon, focusing on five young women a year after they graduate high school. It has strong but realistic female friendships, drama, it's very femslashy - and there's a kitten! An extremely adorable kitten! It's also a really, really good movie.
Fairly obviously, all main characters are South Korean (two are of Chinese descent), and the director and other creators are also Korean. And sadly it's never been written for Yuletide before. :( In terms of intersectionality, there are no queer or disabled characters, but class and poverty are pretty major issues in the movie - Ji-young comes from a very disadvantaged background, and class is also a major issue for Hae-joo. (I'm not sure if that's what you're asking about? Ignore this if not.)
Sadly it can be kind of hard to track this movie down. It's available at Amazon, for US$27 (which is pretty pricey, I know). I think it's also available on DVD from Netflix, but that's not much good to everyone outside the US. Um, I'm not sure what the policy is on sharing source, but I'd be happy to make this available to anyone who wants it, just ask. :)
I... really need to make a proper pimping post for this movie. Girls! Femslash! Awesomeness! A cat!
