A beautiful silent animated film...

A W A Y
In a fantastical land shrouded in mystery, a young boy and his tiny avian companion embark on a perilous journey across a bizarre and uncharted island, driven by a singular goal: to find their way back home.

Away is a 2019 animated silent film, written and animated by Gints Zilbalodis, a Latvian film-maker, who also wrote the screenplay and recorded the score. It is animated using the computer program Maya.

The film follows a boy who parachutes onto land, where he finds a motorbike and an injured bird. With these, he sets off to reach an initially unknown goal, pursued by a shadowy giant monster, which drains life from every living being that crosses its path. The film is divided into different chapters, each individually named.

Directed by: Gints Zilbalodis
