Away Latvia, 2009, 75m

Away is a dialogue-free, fantasy adventure about a boy travelling across an island on a motorcycle, trying to escape a dark spirit and get back home. Along the way he makes a series of connections with different animals and reflects on the possible ways he ended up on the island.

Part dream, part reality, Away explores our common, universal need to find a connection, and, as with the stunning Flow proves director Gints Zilbalodis to be a magician of animated cinema.
