Co-produced by Marianne Ostrat, producer of Smoke Sauna Sisterhood, Polish director Justyna Mytnik's youth film Water Party is a magical story about being a teenager, suppressed emotional wounds, and the healing power of empathy.
Teenager Klara and her friends await Easter and the wild water fight celebrating the arrival of spring. For Klara, however, the fun water party also marks the anniversary of a painful experience that has been kept secret until now. When Klara, tormented by shame, is plagued by nightmares and a mysterious fear of water, she and her new friend Diana set out to find relief for her suppressed trauma.
The feature film is preceded by Madli Lääne's award-winning short fiction film Ääremängijad (Jungle Law).
On a hot summer day, three teenagers meet by chance. Spontaneous flirting creates a tense triangle where, pushing each other's boundaries, they attempt to hide their insecurities. Playful provocation leads to humiliation, and instincts the inexperienced youths cannot control take over. None of them dares to hit the brakes, and the situation spirals out of control. Who is the victim? Who is the culprit?
