Swim to Me is a deeply emotional family drama film set in Chile, based on Alia Trabucco’s best-selling novel Limpia. The story follows Estela, a young woman from a rural region who moves to Santiago to work as a domestic worker. She becomes the caregiver for a six-year-old girl, and over a turbulent summer their relationship grows intense, forming a secret, deeply dependent bond between them.
As the two lives intertwine—day after day, night after night—the gap between their backgrounds becomes more pronounced. The contrast between Estela’s world and the affluent household she works for begins to strain their connection. Their closeness creates emotional vulnerability and power dynamics shift in ways that neither anticipated, leading toward a tragic and unavoidable outcome.
With powerful performances from María Paz Grandjean, Rosa Puga Vittini, Ignacia Baeza, Rodrigo Palacios, and others, Swim to Me is being released globally on Netflix on October 10, 2025. The film explores themes of class, intimacy, loss, and the cost of crossing social boundaries in a world not built for equality.
