Aquanaut

Short experimental documentary about long-distance swimmer Rostislav Vítek. In his life- time journey he has conquered around 60 000 km of water. What one has to sacrifice and accept if he decides to become long-distance swimmer? Notes from his notebook give us a sense of what he experiences while swimming in open waters. Filmed on Aaton Xtr 16mm & Kodak film.
