Resilience

A short film about everyday problems of a modern society that manifest themselves through alienation, loss of identity and positive human nature to fight these problems off. Every day we struggle with fears which we carry inside of us – sometimes we emerge from them, and sometimes we lose breath.

A young girl enjoys bathing in a bathtub. When she dives under the water her thoughts are occupied by fears and a sudden feeling of loneliness. She is lost in an unfamiliar surrounding, without real identity. Her head is wrapped up in scarves which start to suffocate her. She loses her breath and suddenly emerges from the water.
