Im Fluss

Cecilia BARRIGA Claudia LORENZ 2007 Switzerland/Spain Fiction color 6min Swiss German Digi Beta
For decades, two 70-year-old Swiss ladies have been walking along with each other. In summertime, their daily ritual is to swim down the river that flows through their home town. As the current carries them down the river, they meditate on friendship, love and becoming older.
They ponder the unthinkable: what will either of them do if the other passes away? Their lives are so interwoven after decades together that it’s hard to imagine. We see them both literally and figuratively floating down the river of life together.
