THE FILM
Synopsis
Breathing Underwater is an emotional, character-driven drama set in the secretive world of a women's shelter. It tells the story of Emma (Carla Juri) who is whisked away in the dead of night, covered in bruises and unexpectedly pregnant. As she grapples with her pregnancy and her emotional shackles to her husband Marc, Emma rediscovers lost facets of herself through her unlikely camaraderie and strife with the women and children of the shelter. Individual traumas intertwine and despite their differences, a delicate sisterhood emerges as they push one another to fight for their self-worth and independence.
