Here’s a sports movie with a twist — the sport is synchronized swimming, and the camera spends almost the entire running time of the 12-minute short film underwater. It’s taken from a longer anthology film project called Piter by Kasta featuring four different stories about St. Petersburg accompanied by music by Russian rap group Kasta.
