The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

Flow, an extraordinary journey through realms both natural and mystical, follows Cat, a solitary animal whose home is devastated by a great flood.

Cat finds refuge on a boat populated by various species – a dog, a lemur, a capybara and a bird – who will have to team up, despite their differences, in order to navigate the boat in search of dry land. Surviving on courage and wits, they must rely on trust to persevere and endure the dangers of this aquatic world.

This critically-acclaimed and Oscar-winning film from Gints Zilbalodis (director of 2019's Away), is an entirely unique, dialogue-free animation that expands the boundaries of visual storytelling.
