Beneath the surface, the unconscious rules.

A coming-of-age tale set in the cutthroat world of competitive swimming, CORROSION charts a visceral exploration of the body and mind. The film examines the complexity of young athletes—their innermost drives to relate, to desire, and to compete, and the tension that arises when these forces collide.
