A great flood destroyed everything in its way, including animal homes. A cat hero along with a few other animals embarks on a journey full of challenges, tricky situations and unexpected meetings. In this moving and visually captivating story we follow their journey back to safety. But is there still such a thing as safety?
The movie by Gints Zillbalodis thematizes people’s relationship to nature and animals and poses the question of how climate change affects our life on this planet. Viewers, both big and small, will not only be captivated by a dreamy landscape and animal adventures, but they will also be made to think about the future of our planet.
We invite you to this Latvian animated film as part of the #ReadNordicFilm cycle.

#ReadNordicFilm
Book adaptations and biographiesof literary figures are very popular among Scandinavian filmmakers. A new series shows, among other things, how filmmakers approach these challenges. Screenings take place roughly every other month at the Edison Filmhub in Prague and several times a year also at the Art Cinema (Kino Art) in Brno, or in a virtual cinema. Through lecturers’ introductions, we present not only the film itself and its authors, but also the related book titles and place them in the context of Nordic literature and national cinema. In addition to highlighting books available in Czech, we also introduce the public to works that have not (yet) been translated.
The screening is organized by Scandinavian house in collaboration with Edison Filmhub Cinema and Art Cinema, distribution company Film Europe and with the financial support of the Czech Ministry of Culture and Prague City Hall.
