A young girl battles the inevitable oncoming of teen age and her own identification of queerness with newly sprouting crystalline claws in this surreal summer fever dream that brings the science of her school project to life and her relationship with her long time best friend to new, scary places. The struggle to stay afloat literally in the pool, and metaphorically in her own mind, gives her a brief glimpse into the joy, pain, internal, and external chaos of a life on uncertain terms.
