About

Inspired by real events, Swimming Lessons is a short film about repression and longing, about the psychic damage of going unseen, about the body stealing the wheel from a soul too far adrift. It is about a woman desperate to suppress the revolt stirring in her core—only to realize that it alone could save her.
