Swimming Lessons
(USA 2013, HD, 25 Min. 39 Sek., enOF)
World Premiere
Swimming Lessons tells the stories of two teenage girls who are different but – at the same time – strangely similar. Water is a key element in both girls’ lives. One girl is slowly going blind and would like to learn swimming before she loses her eyesight completely while the other girl lost her mother, who drowned during a spring flood.
