After his home is devastated by an enormous flood, a cat and his travelling companions embark on an incredible journey to find dry land in Latvian director Gint Zilbalodis' magical, breathtaking animation.

Suitable for children of all ages (plus cat-lovers, dog-lovers, capybara-lovers, lemur-lovers, bird-lovers and basically anyone who could use a quick dose of splendor and beauty and wonder) the oddly subversive trick that Zilbalodis pulls off is to use infinitesimally detailed computer-generated backdrops (which can often feel cold and lifeless) to mount a gloriously vivid, impassioned manifesto for environmentalism and appreciation for the natural world.

The Disney version would undoubtedly have the animals talk and maybe sing, but Flow's visual language is a song of hope and friendship all of its own, and it's only appropriate that it's wordless, when it delivers an experience that will leave you speechless.
