Swimming in Paris
At fifty years old, a woman takes up swimming lessons and begins to see her body in a completely new light, shedding years of physical tension and insecurity. This realization anchors a journey told in three parts, tracing her life from a teenage abortion in a privileged Parisian neighborhood, through a deep and lasting friendship, to a midlife romance. Through these defining moments, she explores what it means to claim physical autonomy, navigate loss, and ultimately find herself.
