Undertow Eyes is a Brazilian short film directed by Petra Costa.

Synopsis

Vera and Gabriel have been married for sixty years. They discuss about their own history: the first flirtation, the birth of their children, life and aging. During their remembrance, images from their family collection mingle with images of the present. As a mosaic of stories and impressions, this short film looks like a personal and existential diary about love and death.[1][2]
