Breaking Surface (2020)

Breaking Surface (2020), directed by Joachim Hedén, is a tense and emotionally gripping psychological thriller set against the awe-inspiring but perilous Norwegian wilderness. The film, a collaborative effort between Belgium, Norway, and Sweden, takes viewers on a harrowing journey into the depths of human survival, endurance, and fear in a remote and isolated environment.

The story revolves around two sisters, Ida (Moja Holm) and Tuva (Madeleine Martin), who set out for a weekend diving trip in the Norwegian coastline. What begins as a simple adventure quickly turns into a fight for survival when an accident leaves Tuva trapped underwater, with Ida facing the difficult task of rescuing her. As the days pass and their situation becomes increasingly dire, the film delves into the raw, primal fears of isolation, desperation, and the limits of human willpower.
