Learning to Breathe Under Water
COMING SOON
Leo is eight, curious, wise and full of imagination. His best friend is a massive shark—half sculpture, half myth—that crashed through the roof of his house one night when his dad, Peter, gave shape to what he couldn’t say out loud.
Leo’s world is full of questions: why do grown-ups act so strangely? Where did Mum go five years ago? And will Dad ever come down from the clouds—or at least remember to do the shopping? Peter’s either buried in big, bonkers art projects or barely speaking, so Leo daydreams vividly and shares his secrets with the shark, who might just be listening but can’t speak back.
Then Anya bursts into their lives: a spirited au pair with her own questions to shatter the silence and answers more honest than Leo has ever heard before. Her fearless warmth and energy brings back colour to their world and uplifts their lives.
Learning to Breathe Underwater, directed by Rebekah Fortune, has been selected for the 2025 GREAT 8 showcase at the Cannes Film Festival. This prestigious programme champions eight emerging UK filmmakers, presenting exclusive first-look footage to international buyers and festival programmers at the Cannes Film Festival. Now in its eighth year, GREAT 8 is produced by the BFI and British Council with support from BBC Film and Film4. The film joins a standout slate of bold new voices shaping the future of British cinema.
