Our take
Drifting between fantasy and reality, Milagros Mumenthaler’s enigmatic yet alluring portrait of a hydrophobic woman examines its irrational aversions with exquisite visual flair. Wading through the murky depths of a bruised psyche, The Currents beholds the crashing waves of unresolved trauma.
