locking down… drowning… breathing… opening up…
we have been submerged in an imprisonment for almost two years. forced solitude became a natural habit for the most of us. the million dolar question… which one is more drowning; the skin that we live in, water that we drown or the very air that breath?
this film was born after the pandemic, inspired by those lockdown days when we were caged indoors, feeling like we were suffocating. being stuck inside was like drowning underwater, breathless and lost. edited with a 1:1 ratio and an experimental cinematic style, it leans on method acting to pull out real emotions—making the actor relive the choking, trapped, restless feelings of that time, capturing raw truth on camera.
