Karla kan ik' li' vand

14 min.DK/Short fictionFilm school films

Fear Won't Make you Float is an absurd comedy/drama that intimately portrays a young woman’s daily fight with anxiety in an environment that may seem safe to the ordinary viewer, but unsafe for her.
The film centers on Karla who, in an attempt to quell her water-anxiety, gets a job in the local swimming pool with its few, but quirky employees. Her day-to-day life may seem calm on the outside, but underneath her trauma is slowly surfacing.
The lifeguards do what they can to keep Karla afloat, but she must realize that she must swim before she can float. As Karla learns this, it becomes apparent that it isn’t about quelling the anxiety, but about learning to live with it.
