Cine Wonders: Flow

A motley but irresistible crew of animals band together for an unforgettable adventure in the watery world created by Latvian animator and filmmaker Gints Zilbalodis. This visually striking, animated wonder is told without words but with plenty of feeling.

Flow, which premiered at Cannes and went on to win four awards at Annecy, is a cinematic gem that transcends typical animation. The story follows Cat, a solitary creature whose life is upended by a catastrophic flood. Seeking refuge, Cat boards a boat filled with an eclectic mix of animals. Cat has to work together with a capybara, lemur, stork and labrador, despite their differences, to survive in this new, uncertain world.

Zilbalodis' remarkable animation style brings the story to life with naturalistic movement and an authentic soundscape using real animal sounds. Flow is a stunning, universally relatable animated masterpiece for all ages.
