Open Water Swimmer

​A modern fable where the sea and open water swimming is the metaphor for a challenge: to leave the comfort zone.

Nil is a mediocre actor who no longer gets jobs. His wife has left him and he enters a spiral of self-destructive thoughts. Next to Walrus, an expert swimmer who hides a family trauma, Nil will learn to swim at forty-eight, and along the way he will also receive the most important lesson of his life.

When everything seems lost, we need to stop to analyze where we have been spending our energies on. The problem, too often, is not making the right choices in our daily battles and prioritizing things that are of no importance. Sometimes it is necessary to simply focus, float and let one flow.
 

«An inspiring song of self-improvement.»
— Gemma Mengual, olympic medal synchro swimmer
