FLOW Latvia-Belgium-France, 2024, 84′, color, animation

In a world free of humans, a staunchly independent cat narrowly survives a severe flood by teaming up with a sleepy capybara, a lemur obsessed with shiny objects, an overly friendly Labrador, and an enormous, crane-like bird. The unlikely menagerie has no choice but to stay together on a rickety boat as they navigate the strange and rapidly changing new environment they find themselves in.

 

Combining beautiful animation with a captivating and stirring score, the world that director Gints Zilbalodis has created is lush, intriguing and mesmerizing. Adults and children alike will love both the drama and humour that stem from acute observations of real behavior exhibited by each animal.
