The time of the water

A film by Shahriar Adham El Kosht


On a strange, hot autumn day, Rosa desperately decided to take one last trip to rediscover the love of her youth. During her absence, she leaves her house in the care of Rodrigo, a mad young neighbour, who is unaware of the secret Rosa has hidden in her swimming pool. The warmth and adventures of his girlfriend, Carla, will lead them to discover something unexpected.

This short film by the Québec-based Argentine director Shahriar Adham El Kosht was shot in Buenos Aires in the typical spirit of South American magic realism.

This film was part of the official selection of several festivals around the world, including the opening night of the Hollyshorts Film Festival in Hollywood at the prestigious Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles.
