An important fable on the power of camaraderie during times of cataclysmic ruin. Amidst the beauty of its surrounding ecosystem, a black cat with kind eyes roams the hazy domain. In the serene woodland, the feline protagonist scavenges in dialogue-less solitude. In the blink of an eye, tragedy strikes. A biblical flood submerges the cat’s familiar home into a vast waterworld. On his survivalist journey through the apocalypse, the helpless feline learns to adapt by defying the rules of the natural order. Teaming up with an observant capybara, a hyperactive lemur, a boastful secretary bird, and a sociable retriever on their collective quest for a new home; the unlikely pairing learns to co-exist with their survivalist ambitions. Flow irresistibly entangles its viewer within the restless anthropomorphized poetry of its sprawling aquatic world.
Flow is part of the Feature Film Competition at the 2024 Ottawa International Animation Festival (OIAF).
