CHLORE

Through the voice of the narrator, immigrant mum of a young 10 years old competitive swimmer, this short docu-drama tells about the difficulties of living a "normal live" and coping with isolation, loneliness, distance and insecurity during the pandemic.

''Chlore'' is Valérie Lecomte's third film as a director and writer, her second Canadian short film, and her first short-docu-drama. 

"Chlore" explores a more intimate format, as a docu-drama, entering in her thoughts while witnessing the early mornings of her son, 10 years old, competitive swimmer and her own activities during the Pandemic.
