When a cat awakes to find the world devastated by monstrous floods, he seeks refuge on a drifting sailboat, along with a collection of other displaced animals searching for dry land. Thrown into a world in flux, the unlikely team must learn to confront their fears and trust one another in order to survive. From the boundless imagination of its director, the award-winning Gints Zilbalodis, comes this uniquely animated film, a profound meditation on the fragility of the environment and the spirit of friendship and community. Steeped in the soaring possibilities of visual storytelling, Flow, Latvia’s submission to the Oscars for Best International Feature Film, is a feast for the senses and a treasure for the heart.
