Te saldrán escamas

or years Lucía has lived in and out of the water, sharing her daily life with her best friend in the swimming pool of a sports centre in Vallecas. When she dives in, everything changes, the screams from the stands are no longer heard and the hairstyles no longer bother her.

Te saldrán escamas is a non-fiction short film that explores the dynamics of a children＇s synchronised swimming team, focusing on Lucía Fraile and her partner Lucía Santiago, two teenagers who since childhood have stood out for their character and ambition to be the best in their sport, but who, above all, are two close friends who share a vital moment full of concerns and changes.

During the film we accompany them on their walks home, tiktok dances, chats in the privacy of their rooms and the surroundings of the swimming pool where they spend so many hours.
