What Does Not Float

About This Movie

So, 'What Does Not Float' is a curious little sci-fi flick from 2025 that dives into the existential. Three tourists, seemingly just trying to enjoy a summer in Gijón, embark on this casual journey filled with fairground fun and late-night philosophizing. The vibe is laid-back, almost dreamlike, yet there’s an underlying tension that builds. The pacing is pretty unique too, as it lingers on their conversations, feeling both mundane and profound. Then, you hit the beach scene—it's here where things take a turn into the supernatural, but it’s done in a way that feels grounded, with practical effects that have a certain rawness to them. The performances capture that hazy, introspective summer feeling, making this film stand out as more than just a typical genre piece.
