Away is 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. The multiple award-winning film took the prestigious Contrechamp Award at Annecy International Animation Film Festival 2019.
Director and animator Gints Zilbalodis worked on the film for three and a half years, writing the fascinating story, creating the beautifully animated landscapes and characters, and composing and recording the enchanting music to a stunning dialogue-free film.
‘This silent adventure film about a man who parachutes out of a plane and lands on an island is both wondrous and weird’ – The Guardian ★★★★☆
