Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes Film Festival 2022, veteran filmmaker Jerzy Skolimowski's bold and brave film dares to make a wayward donkey its hero.

EO, a grey donkey with melancholic eyes and a curious spirit, begins his life as a circus performer before escaping on a trek across the Polish and Italian countryside. During his travels, he encounters an eclectic cast of characters, including a countess, a young Italian priest and a riotous Polish football team.

This wayward donkey's journey speaks to the world around us, an equine hero boldly pointing out societal ills, and serving as a warning to the dangers of neglect and inaction, all while on a quest for freedom. EO is a remarkable film that is filled with empathy, stunning cinematography and a beautiful score.
