In a world where even our feature films are commercials, I guess it's a little heartening to see that straight-up commercials can take risks in tone and form. Most commercials present a nice carrot waiting at a nearby store this one drowns you with salty, liquid stick. Like an increasing volume of interesting media experiments, Sortie en mer ("A Trip Out To Sea") starts as an artistic piece, then transitions through "gruelling public service announcement" before revealing its true identity as a commercial for Guy Cotten yachtwear. It made me shield my eyes lest I see the abyss staring back. Regardless of what medium it falls under, it's primally scary. It does resemble games at its most basic level - it's essentially a long quick-time-event cutscene whose outcome inevitability mirrors that of death itself - but it's more of an interactive short film, using basic interactivity to prolong or hasten the ending. Just like in real water! Some have labeled Sortie en mer a game, but I'd hesitate to do so. Playing like a more energetic version of Andrew Traucki's "G" entry in The ABCs of Death, you scroll frantically in order to stay afloat, but no matter how hard you scroll, you will eventually succumb to fatigue and drown. Essentially a drowning simulator, it puts you into the first-person view of a sailing enthusiast as he gets knocked overboard. All of this (minus the sea creatures, but they're down there somewhere, dammit) makes Sortie en mer by Ben Strebel and commercial house Wanda Digital/Grouek the most terrifying thing I've sat through in months. My open-water terror is borne of a combination of its impenetrable, stygian depths its demonic fishy denizens and the silent scream that is death by drowning. I enjoy swimming, but my adventures in water are strictly limited to the domestic. People survive heart attacks and strokes often, but occasionally they have complications.My greatest fear is the ocean. The means drowning is a process that is NOT always fatal, just like strokes and heart attacks do not always end in death. The Dead Sea water has a density of 1.24 kg/litre, which makes swimming similar to floating. In dense, salty water, a little body displaces a lot of mass, and most of the body stays out of the water so, it’s hard to drown a person when most of their body is floating on top of the water. Would you drown in the middle of the ocean? It takes about 6 months for a fingernail and up to 18 months for a toenail to grow back. A new nail will have to grow back in its place. What happens if you rip your fingernails off?Īfter a nail separates from the nail bed for whatever reason, it will not reattach. Soaking your hands in hot water while doing the dishes or engaging in any other prolonged water exposure can dry out the nails. Trauma or damage to the nail itself can cause peeling. ![]() The story begins on a sailboat where things take an unexpected turn. Sortie En Mer: A Trip Out to Sea, an interactive video from French marine wear manufacturer Guy Cotten, aims to promote lifejacket use by turning an idyllic boating trip into deadly game of survival. Drowning can also represent the feeling that we can’t catch our breath this may also be a metaphor for not getting a moment to ourselves.” “So drowning in dreams can be a sign that at the time of the dream we may be feeling overwhelmed at work or at home. ![]() What does it mean when you dream drowning in water? The lungs become heavy, and oxygen stops being delivered to the heart. ![]() This water intake then interferes with breathing. Death occurs after the lungs take in water. Keep swiping, and you’ll survive, at least for a time, as your body and mind tire, deteriorate and hallucinate.ĭrowning is a form of death by suffocation. Soon, you’re overboard, and uninterrupted scrolling with your mouse or trackpad or tapping the up arrow key is the only way you can stay on the water’s surface. ![]()
