When Imaani enters the swimming pool, she is confronted with the memory of the sexual assault she experience here. In an attempt to leave behind the past, Imaani will have to face her trauma. Anahit, the goddess of fertility and healing, wisdom and water, empowers her to confront her trauma through dance and movement. The swimming pool, the dressing room and the showers constitute the stage for this expressive dance tale that deeply affects the viewer.
Because of his extreme provocations at school, the fifteen-year-old Julius is sent to a special program for behavioral change. In crafty dialogue, Julius fights the hypocrisy of 'being free to be yourself, but within the limits', preached by his supervisors and his recently divorced parents. But when Julius finds the physical limits of his rebellion, the situation explodes and he needs to get back in control. Is he able to stay true to his ideals and to be released from the program altogether?
