Water Memories

In the shortfilm one that treats the racial and sexual diversity of Carla and Helena, two young women who dream of being Olympic swimmers and who keep their friendship secret due to the racism of their families. The shortfilm shows us the reunion of the protagonists in the municipal swimming pool where they train furtively. However, the appointment of the young girls becomes a claustrophobic and terrifying episode due to the presence of a stranger following in their footsteps. As a result, the conversation between Carla and Helena about their future as swimmers and Carla's unspeakable desires is disrupted by the need to flee.
