Czech freediver, national record holder, and daughter of a synchronized swimmer and diver, Jindřiška Zajacová, attempts to tune into the water and let herself be drawn to the centre of the Earth, and perhaps even to the centre of herself. This contemplative portrait of the appeal of the soothing blue absolute touches on the physical limits of the human body, and seeks a way to float through the terrestrial world above the surface.

“With every exhale you merge more and more with the water until you no longer recognize the boundaries. You’re everywhere and nowhere.”

This film is not currently online :(

But no worries. There are more just like it in our new program.
