Dulce

In this beautifully made documentary, we follow Dulce’s journey to learn how to swim. However, as the story unfolds, another important subject is presented: climate change and its effect on rising sea levels. What I enjoyed about the video is that the plot of the story is a mystery and it grabbed my attention to understand what the story is really about. Why is Dulce’s mom insisting on teaching the girl how to swim? Why is it so important? What is the mom collecting from the sea? Why? All of these questions are answered as the documentary goes along. Moreover, the colors and sounds are well put together giving us the sense of serenity and precaution at the same time.
