Learning to Swim tells the story of Nordia, a young Jamaican girl, deeply religious, who has to take on the task of co-parenting with her childhood sweetheart Everton, a man she is still in love with. As we watch them grow up, we discover how they met, what separated them and how they had to learn to walk on the complex waters of intolerance, poverty and religious fervour that colour Jamaican life.
