Janet, Who Fell From the Sea

Synopsis

A girl is drawn into the sea, following the sound of an ethereal bell. She falls into an underwater town, haunted by the ghosts of unfinished stories. Based on the legend of the drowned town of Dunwich, off the coast of England, the film explores the liminal spaces between adulthood and childhood, dream and reality, as she falls from one story to the next, seeking the source of the bell, to finally ring it for herself.
