Lamberto Sanfelice : 2015
Chlorine
Seventeen-year-old Jenny lives in Ostia, a seaside town near Rome, and dreams of being a synchronised swimmer. But after her mother's death and her father's ensuing nervous breakdown, her family is forced to relocate to a remote mountain village, where Jenny drops out of school to work as a maid at a nearby ski resort and to support her younger brother. She is unwilling to give up her passion and promises herself and her best friend Flavia that she will be back in Ostia for the next synchro competitions. Sneaking into the hotel pool to train, she clings to some semblance of her dream. But with her father showing no sign of recovery, Jenny's 'temporary' circumstances appear increasingly permanent. Lamberto Sanfelice's feature debut premiered in competition at Sundance Film Festival 2015.
