Fashion designer Lina is at the peak of her career. But after an award ceremony in Switzerland, she impulsively jumps off a bridge. She survives, but when she returns home, something has changed. Her everyday life becomes filled with fear, and water—once something she took for granted—now triggers panic. Everything from the shower to the rain outside the window becomes threatening, and the distance between Lina, her husband, and her daughter grows. How do you keep living after reaching your breaking point?
Read moreThe Currents is a quiet film about mental health, shame, and the invisible forces that drive us. Director Milagros Mumenthaler portrays Lina’s inner turmoil with patience and precision, where small movements and glances say more than words. The camera lingers on faces, rooms, and reflections in water, allowing you to feel the silence and unease that permeate the protagonist.
This is not a film that shouts—it whispers. It is a story about finding your way back after standing on the edge, about fear that settles in the body, and about how water becomes a mirror of one’s own vulnerability.
