Sisters By Water
Directed by Shenny De Los Angeles
United States | 15 min | 2023
A Caribbean-American coming-of-age story. Two best friends, bonded by a shared fear of getting into the ocean, heal generational fears through the intimacy of sisterhood.
"Sisters By Water" poetically chronicles a friendship between Ambar (a Dominican-American femme) and Larimar (a Haitian-American femme). Their entire lives, both Ambar and Larimar have feared the ocean because it required a sense of self-acceptance they never felt within.
Their fear of the getting into the water intersects with Ambar's relationship to body dysmorphia and Larimar’s sexual shame. Growing up, feeling the weight of what their mothers could never heal from, they lean on each other to alchemize the wounds of their childhood.
