Jana and Katha have been together for seven years. They are ready to tie the knot, as well as become parents, with the future help of a sperm donor.
During the bachelorette party Katha is abducted by her friends, finding herself on a raft in the middle of a lake, alongside her best friend, her brother, a friend from work, and none other than the potential sperm donor.
At the same time, Jana's friends show up at their apartment and throw her a surprise party. Joining them is Jana's ex.
As alcohol flows like water in both parties, old secrets begin to resurface. Jana and Katha find themselves in a situation that could compromise their relationship.
Floating! is a well-made contemporary drama about the anxieties surrounding the moments when life's most important decisions must be made.
Employing humor, intimacy, passion, and tremendous vulnerability, director Julia C. Kaiser has created a comic tale revolving around two parallel storylines.
