Synopsis:

A Mother’s suicide leads the narrator on a quest to explore her Jewish lineage and her family’s immigration story over multiple generations, with open-water swimming becoming her way to come to terms with the present.

Daisy is a personal rumination, an exploration about my Mom, the matriarchs in my family and how open water swimming saved my life during this horrific loss - I made this short as a way to process my grief.
