The Swimmer is my newest project (currently in post-production).
It is a story about small and big fears, friendship, and passion for swimming, stronger than anything.
It is a short fiction about a 10 years old Grete, a cheerful and imaginative girl, who starts swimming lessons. In the swimming pool, she meets a Ariel (19), a professional swimmer, who was brought to the pool by her father, swimming coach, at the age of 4. Despite the age difference, two become friends, as Ariel helps Grete to overcome her fear of jumping into the water. However, Ariel has a leg ache that is getting more and more painful…
