Combing is a meditative act leading to contemplation and introspection. It is an animated self-portrait sculpted in motion and time about memory and relationship with the other. Hair becomes a symbolic thread that connects past and present, memories and the current father-daughter relationship.

Ula is a shy and unconfident teenager who loves to swim. During a routine workout, she gets involved in an unexpected adventure that helps her grow up, accept herself and see her body in a new light.

Minimalistic contours emerge from the dark nothingness into which the main character journeys and the soundtrack further enhances the feeling of running alone through a gloomy and somber path, when only what is close at hand is heard.
