As its home is devastated by a great flood, a cat finds refuge on a boat populated by various species. With emotions and animations flowing just as freely as the water that endangers its characters, Flow is a wordless tour-de-force by Latvian director Gints Zilbalodis that prefers the magic of imagery above easy explanations. A cautionary tale for humanity or a heroic story with an unlikely team-up, it works either way.

Cats hate dogs and water. Pretty bad luck for the cat in the mystical and wordless animated film Flow, because these are just the two things our cute little protagonist is forced to deal with. The nameless cat lives in a world where people seem to have disappeared and nature is back in charge. So much so that the solitary feline has to race to safety when his home is devastated by a great flood. The only safe (and dry) place is a boat with a capybara, an over-enthusiastic labrador, a lemur that collects all he can find, and an outcast bird. Latvian director Gints Zilbalodis' sophomore feature - after debuting with the likewise "silent" Away - is a mesmerising and metaphorical odyssey past ruins, all-consuming storms and looming forests which was dubbed "one of the most groundbreaking animated films about nature since Bambi" by the international press.
