BREATHING UNDERWATER
Breathing Underwater tells the story of Emma, 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.
Eric Lamhène is a writer/director based in Luxembourg. He earned his Master of Arts with distinction at the London Film School in 2010. He has since written and directed several short films and various episodes of Comeback and the documentary series Routwäissgro for RTL television. He is a writer for the Netflix crime series Captains. He has recently finished his debut feature film Breathing Underwater.
