Synopsis

A sensory immersion in the lives of two women and their relationship of pleasure and pain with water. An islander dives into the open sea, swimming with sea lions and embracing her freedom. A swimmer dives into the icy glacial waters and polar currents pushing the limits of her endurance. Both inhabit a universe of water whose nature can be as serene as it is severe.
