Get swept away by the captivating story of a little cat! Its only hope of surviving a great flood is to band together with other animals.

Everything flows in this beautiful poem composed of images. It tells the story of a little cat fighting for survival. The cat lives alone in an abandoned house, always running away from dogs. Suddenly, however, a great flood submerges its home. It finds refuge on a boat with other animals. Gathered so closely together, the different species must now learn to get along despite their differences. ›Flow‹ lets us experience the pure power of cinema like few other children’s films: bodies in motion, traversing fantastic spaces and worlds. We hurtle along wonderfully harmonious series of images and wild chase sequences. Let yourself be carried away!
