Dir. Sandra Desmazières / 2025 / 15 mins / France, Netherlands, Portugal / No Dialogue / Animation / International Premiere

In this heartwarming, heartbreaking tale of maternity, love and loss, a free diver reminisces on a lifetime spent underwater.

Vividly rendered in hand-drawing and coloured with old-fashioned pencils, Sandra Desmazières’s gentle charmer – steeped in the lore of fishing and pearl diving – slips through waters and across time, moving fluidly through seaweed, rocks and the shifting landscapes of the mind.
