This is not a porn film. This is not LA. In this film the protagonist ( Rowland ) emerges from the sea almost as primal man. He is Ecosexual, he transforms himself into a clay living sculpture, he becomes a 70’s movie character and at the end he returns to the sea. It presents the male body as erotic object and as thinking, feeling subject. This is a poetic film about water. Water is represented as a cleansing element; as a substance that restores man to his original form. Water as a nurturing element; as a substance that can hold the entirety of a man’s weight. In this film water is an element that is distinct from man: feminine, fluid, translucent. The hardness of a man’s cock, the strength of a man’s body, the power of a man’s ejaculation are made even more masculine in the presence of water.
