    “After years of hard training in swimming, Adri is on the doors of the regional championships when, just two days before, her period comes for the first time. Since the death of her mother four years ago, Adri sees herself subjugated to the enthusiasm her father projects on this competition and the pressure from his coach who sees in Adri a firm candidate to qualify. WIth all that, Adri hides the event that transforms her from child to woman, and endangers her participation, forcing her to find on her own the answers to all the question that haunt her.” See adricortometraje.es and IMDB
