Awarded at the European Film Awards and the Golden Globes, and nominated for the Oscars, Flow is a groundbreaking visual and sensory experience.
Director Gints Zilbalodis immerses us in a post-apocalyptic submerged world, where a solitary black cat confronts its fear of water. As it drifts on its boat, a capybara, a lemur, and a secretary bird join the journey, forming a community that learns to survive and navigate together without words—an hypnotic odyssey through sunken ruins and unexpected bonds.
Through evocative imagery and an immersive soundtrack, Flow tells a story of nature’s beauty, the spontaneity of relationships, and the search for a new balance in a transforming world. A unique visual spectacle, far from anthropomorphism, that speaks directly to the viewer’s emotions.
