Flow 2024

★★★★★ Watched 02 Mar 2025

Some films speak not through words, but through movement, light, and silence. Flow is an animated odyssey that transcends language, drawing the viewer into a world where meaning is felt rather than told.

Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that makes the flowers grow, not thunder.
Through its refreshing 2D animation style, The Breadwinner takes us on an emotional and striking journey through a story we wish was only fiction.
