Animated Gems: Olivia & the Clouds
Guest programmer Riccardo Canciello has put together some of the best animated films from last year that you probably haven’t seen: either because of a limited release or because they never screened in the Netherlands before.
About the film
Olivia, haunted by a past love, hides it under her bed. She trades flowers with this ghost in exchange for comforting rain clouds. Barbara, rejected by Mauricio, escapes reality through fantastical stories. Mauricio, full of regrets, is swallowed by the earth. Ramón, smitten by Olivia, witnesses the growth of a strange plant mirroring her. With surreal elements, Olivia & the Clouds delves into the enduring power of love’s memory.
