Flow

The world seems to be coming to an end, teeming with the vestiges of a human presence. Cat is a solitary animal, but as its home is devastated by a great flood, he finds refuge on a boat populated by various species, and will have to team up with them despite their differences. In the lonesome boat sailing through mystical overflowed landscapes, they navigate the challenges and dangers of adapting to this new world. Flow is the antithesis of the Pixar film. Relying entirely on visual storytelling without a single word of dialogue, Renaissance Latvian filmmaker Gints Zilbalodis has created a remarkably animated world reminiscent of that of a video game, making Flow accessible to both children and older viewers alike.

This film raises questions about man's relationship with nature, the need to respect all living beings and the need to adapt to changing conditions. What role do we play in our relationship with nature and animals? How is climate change affecting life on Earth and how can we help protect nature and animal rights?
