The documentary film “Ceiling” directed by Natalia Uglitsky once again proves that a person, if he really wants to, can achieve a lot.
To prove that there is no limit to human capabilities, in the film “Ceiling” will be Natalia Aveyenko, a two-time world champion in freediving (the so-called swimming under water on breath holding). Natalia herself, according to her, since childhood dreamed of doing exactly what she eventually did - to swim with beluga whales. In the icy water, at a temperature of -2 ° C, without a wetsuit, since animals do not perceive the touch of clothing poorly to the touch, she spent 10 minutes 40 seconds under water (an ordinary person at this temperature can freeze after 5 minutes).
In front of the audience unfolds an amazing, fantastic dance - a brave girl and sea creatures, above which is a ceiling of ice. close
