The dialogue-free animation film Flow, which reportedly became the most-watched film in theatres in Latvia recently, is set to hit the screens in India on Friday, February 28. Based on director Gints Zilbalodis' own high-school short film, Flow revolves around a solitary cat that teams up with other animals on a boat after a catastrophic flood in a world devoid of humans. It follows their journey through mystical landscapes as they deal with the perils and challenges of a world that is new to them. The Zilbalodis directorial recently won Best Animated Feature Film at the Golden Globes and Best International Film at the Independent Spirit Awards, among other recognitions. Flow is also the first-ever film from Latvia to get an Oscar nomination; it is nominated in both best animation film and best international film categories at the 2025 Academy Awards.

The film, which premiered in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, is written by Zilbalodis himself and Matiss Kaza. Zilbalodis also produced the film along with Kaza, Gregory Zalcman, and Rob Dyens.
