Swimming with Wings

A short animated documentary exploring the immigration experience through the eyes of a little Israeli girl learning how to swim with clothes on in the Netherlands.

For Lyri, the penguin, going on her underwater voyage she will reach polar existence. Getting there will mean returning to a primary world, natural, and protected. Whatever she experiences there she will take back to the “real” world, where finally she will be able to swim.

Swimming with Wings is included in the Kids DOK section of DOK Leipzig.
