Premise

[edit]

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.[3]

Release

Olivia & The Clouds will have its world premiere in the Concorso Cineasti del Presente section of the 77th Locarno Film Festival in August 2024.[4][5] Ahead of the film's premiere, it was acquired for international sales by Miyu Distribution.[6]

In September 2024, Olivia & The Clouds will screen in the Animated Feature Category in the Official Competition at the 2024 Ottawa International Animation Festival, marking the film's North American debut.[7][8]
