FLOCKY is an animated allegory exploring the evolving bond between a mother and her unborn child. Set against a magical landscape of cold tones, the film artfully explores the journey of pregnancy. The story unfolds through the mother’s evolving visions at each stage of pregnancy, providing insight into her anticipation of their future together. Each scene metaphorically represents a moment in pregnancy, ranging from a symbolic portrayal of conception in the sky to the heartbreaking realization of Flocky’s absence. Embarking on this poignant journey, a melancholic landscape and haunting soundtrack evoke the profound emotional depth of Flocky’s existence—and eventual disappearance.
