Olivia & the Clouds (Olivia y las nubes)

Directed by Tomás Pichardo Espaillat
Dominican Republic
2024
80 mins

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.

One of the most unique animated films in years, Olivia & the Clouds blends an array of different animation styles — from claymation, stop motion, cut-outs, and mixed media — to craft this unforgettable story about the enduring power of love's memory. A vibrant debut that you can’t tear your eyes away from, this is a surreal exploration of love’s complexities.
