Flow

Cats are rather individualistic creatures. But this cat must band together with other animals to survive a great flood on a wooden boat.

The forest is usually a peaceful place but there’s something in the air. What’s the buzz? The water is rising at a terrifying pace. The cat must run away. The wary animal jumps on a battered sailing boat and a great voyage begins. This turns out to be an interspecies encounter. Every survivor is different: the labrador is bursting with energy, the lemur keeps hoarding things, and the capybara spends the time at leisure, as befits a capybara. To face the threat, the protagonists must learn to work together and understand their needs. This no-dialogue animation by the visionary film director from Latvia is a captivating visual odyssey.
