She said that water meant death.

 

 

A WITNESS _ stills
(voice over)

A woman in training outfit by a pool. She has sunglasses, a whistle in a string around her neck. Girls stand in lines by a trampoline, we see their reflections in the glasses.

"She was almost there. Almost in the national team. She dived from all the high points she could find. Like an obsession. And she was good at it. When she hit the water there were no large splashes, just a sound like that of a discreet hand dipping into water.

It was like she were hanging in the air, gliding on air. After the accident at the camp, she stopped. Just like that. Stop.

No more practice, no more hanging out with her old team. It was the end. She said that water meant death."
