Latvian animator Gints Zilbalodis’s Golden Globe award-winning and four-time Annecy award-winning film tells the story of a courageous cat after his home is devastated by a great flood. Teaming up with a capybara, a lemur, a bird, and a dog to navigate a boat in search of dry land, they must rely on trust, courage, and wits to survive the perils of a newly aquatic planet.
This film will be preceded by a 20-second bumper film created by Brassart-MOPA students.
