In this documentary, fourteen people across the world reveal their unique connection to water. We the Bathers holds up an intimate lens to a series of disparate lives, leading us to consider how our bathing rituals might be shaped by our identities. Through a startling juxtaposition of stories from a grieving East Londoner, to a Sicilian sex worker, to a Japanese Buddhist monk, each person is given a platform to speak candidly about their experiences without restraint. Water is life.

After months of awkward exchanges and arguments, childhood sweethearts Lucy and Alex finally decide that their relationship in adulthood just isn’t working. Having been friends since they were very young, Lucy is unsure of how to go about life without Alex. She begins her journey to find her inner self love, amour de soi, and begins to fall in love with life, and herself, without the reliance on anyone else.
