| Summary | "The disturbing story of a swimmer navigating the abuse of her body and mind as she trains for competition, exploring the nature of power and will. Watched obsessively by her guru-like coach, a nameless swimmer battles the element of water in a gruelling physical regimen. Outside of training, she floats loose in waters murky, salty, and chlorinated, engaging in aimless self-destruction, restraint looming just beyond her drifting hand. Incrementally, swimming is killing her; the pool is killing her. Hovering always nearby is a prickly vulture, waiting to feed on the swimmer's remains ... Intense and immersive, Kiss the Undertow is a psychologically gripping account of endurance pushed to extremes."-- |
