Surface Tension | A shortfilm

Surface Tension is a poetic short film about a swimmer caught between the past and the water — between what he’s lost and what still anchors him. Set against the stillness of a pool and the echoes of the past, the film explores how grief doesn’t always arrive as storms — sometimes, it lingers quietly beneath the surface. As Arjun moves through moments of silence, reflection, and rediscovery, Surface Tension becomes a meditation on healing, control, and the courage it takes to resurface when everything inside you wants to drown. 'Story'told through minimal dialogue, striking visuals, and layered sound design, this short film captures the fragile beauty of learning to breathe again — both above and below the surface.
