This quite literally breathtaking short film Breathless is filmed almost entirely underwater, and tells the story of a synchronised swimmer who has feelings for her coach, until a rival steps into play and she has to fight for his attention. The whole story is told without a word being said, as every action and plot point is shown through the way the characters move either under the water or as seen from below, and its clever use of colour helps us differentiate between the characters as they are seen twirling around in the pool. Featuring the best underwater fight scene you’ll see today and also the most waterproof phone in history, this is one of the most original short films we’ve seen in a long while.
