Drowning Dry

To celebrate Lukas’ victory at the martial arts tournament and Tomas’ birthday party, two sisters organize a weekend at the country house. With their kids, they go swimming in a nearby lake, relax and discuss family finances. After the near tragic accident of one of the children, the sisters become single mothers.

Director’s note:

“The film essentially is about a group of people dealing with an almost tragic event that causes them experience emotional trauma in different ways. I used irregular repetition borrowed from dry drowning condition as astructural element of the story in order to highlight the various ways of receiving and dealing with trauma. It helped me organically merge story, subject and theme into one.”
