Latvia/Belgium/France/2024—directed by Gints Zilbalodis | 84 minutes

A cat finds itself puzzlingly alone in an abandoned house, surrounded by untouched artworks and furniture. Venturing outside to explore, the cat encounters a variety of animals: a lemur, a golden retriever, a capybara, and an imposing stork.

By choice or circumstance, these animals soon find themselves bonding in a small boat as torrents of water rush beneath them. The water reveals and conceals the strange, vaguely familiar landscape, and the rushing waters seem to be everywhere.

This astonishing new feature animation by 29-year-old Latvian animator Gints Zilbalodis is an entrancing story for audiences of all ages and places. Its remarkable soundtrack features no dialogue; instead, the adventure unfolds entirely through images, sounds, music, and emotion. The film won the Audience Award, Jury Prize for Best Picture, and Best Original Score at the 2024 Annecy International Animation Festival. 

"Groundbreaking and transcendent. It's rare you feel like you're watching something entirely new. Flow accomplishes just that.” –Christian Blauvelt, IndieWire
