Little Boriya is bored. She would love to play with someone, but it's harvest time and everyone is busy. Alone, under the river's bridge, she will realise that life isn't always how she imagined it to be.

A young man seeks an assisted suicide with an illegal agency in South Korea.

An experimental journey through Seoul. “As a journey through the urban sea of Seoul, Sous L'eau is a visual experimentation describing mixed feelings of losing ground, control beyond any understanding in a radically new world. He's French, she's Korean. Seen through his foreigner's eyes, the city is an abstract ink painting. People become a flow, river at night turns into geometric glitters. The colors of the fish market bleed on the screen. Follow this encounter with a unique character in a short Korean interview. Free from a tight narrative frame and form, it is a raw expression of a traveler's losing balance. It sits at the frontier between wet kaleidoscopic landscapes and distinguishable shapes and patterns.”
