A young child gradually overcomes their fear of the water. A child's first encounter with the sea leaves them feeling small and scared. What could be hiding in the dark depths below? Mama says there is no rush to try swimming, and that the water will wait.
When the family visits a lake and a river, the child's fear of water gradually starts to ebb as curiosity begins to flow. But playing in the water still doesn't feel right.
