A Chinese manicurist in Miami attempts to describe feelings she doesn't have the words for
Alexa Lim Haas’ Agua Viva is a gentle, empathetic look into the inner world of one of these workers–a Chinese manicurist who works in a strip mall in Florida–as she struggles with self-image issues, loneliness, and finding the words to describe how she feels, in a language she doesn’t fully know.
It’s an exercise in understated profundity that focuses on a character who shares the kind of doubts that remind us that we’re human, and who asks the kind of existential questions that keep us up at night. Ultimately, it is as mesmerizing and enigmatic as the jellyfish that floats across the screen, temporarily stuck in a tank, but capable of floating through the ocean.
