Away
M+ Cinema presents ‘Away’, a tranquil animated film following a boy and his new friend on an adventure on a post-apocalyptic island.
After crash landing on a post-apocalyptic island, a boy wakes up to a shadowy giant attempting to swallow him. As the boy runs for his life, he finds an oasis where an injured bird has taken shelter in. The two bond over a life-threatening crisis and decide to outrun their fear, the giant, on a motorbike. They race across abandoned landscapes with the anxiety of being caught by the giant intensifying over the course of their adventures.
Directed, written, produced and scored by Gints Zilbalodis, Away is a one-person production created with computer-generated imagery. With modulated colour character design and no dialogue, the film’s minimalist aesthetic is refreshing yet tranquil.
