Introduction

Getting over someone is hard work. Olivia is proof of this. She cannot forget Ramon – going so far as to keep his ghost under her bed. As we embark on a trip through memories of their affair, both their viewpoints are seen through a variety of animation styles and mixed media. Unexpectedly humorous and richly creative, Olivia & the Clouds is an unalloyed delight.
