This is Edwin Abbott’s beloved mathematical adventure novel, “Flatland”, the story of a world of only two dimensions inhabited by geometric shapes who discover the existence of a third dimension, a world of wonders that they can scarcely imagine.

The film explains difficult math concepts in an engaging and fanciful way, within the context of a dramatic narrative story. Both the book and film also explore class structure, intolerance, and the place of new ideas and unexpected truths in a rigid and complacent society.
