Breaking Surface is a 2020 Swedish Norwegian Belgian survival thriller drama film written and directed by Joachim Hedén [sv] and starring Moa Gammel Ginsburg and Madeleine Martin.[1]

Plot

Breaking Surface is a thrilling Swedish survival drama that centers on the harrowing ordeal of two half-sisters, Ida and Tuva, during a winter diving trip in Norway. Shortly after they dive into a remote fjord, a rockslide traps Tuva underwater. With limited oxygen and the clock ticking, Ida must summon all her courage and resourcefulness to rescue her sister.
