I Meant to Say Something Else

Two sisters meet in an empty municipal swimming pool, closed for the winter, to rehearse an apology one of them has owed the other for eleven years. They argue about wording, about tone, about whether an apology counts if it is practised. It is never delivered. By the end, it may no longer be needed.

Shot in a single afternoon with almost no camera movement, the film lets the tiled walls do the echoing. It is fourteen minutes long and feels, in the best way, like a held breath.
