Things take an unexpected turn when a new neighbour moves in next door and begins to intrude into Dezi's private world. Despite his best efforts to avoid her, the neighbour, named Sophie, starts to break down his barriers and challenge his beliefs about himself and the world around him.
As Dezi starts to open up to Sophie, he begins to learn to confront his fears and become more comfortable with vulnerability. Through their conversations and interactions, Dezi and Sophie find a unique connection that helps them both navigate their own personal struggles.
With striking visuals and a powerful soundtrack featuring jazz standards and contemporary compositions, Learn to Swim is a poignant exploration of mental health, healing, and human connection.
