Survival, motherhood, and movies all collide in a backyard pool. While proudly filming her 2-year-old daughter’s survival swimming graduation exam in her backyard pool, Maria runs into technical difficulties. A disturbing insight into the extremities a mother goes to prevent any parent’s worst nightmare. The human desire to record and capture reality distracts from the reality of the situation with potentially catastrophic implications.
