Every year, millions of people come to the pilgrimage site of Lourdes in the south of France, hoping to be healed by the water. Paradise Water depicts the atmosphere in Lourdes as pilgrims begin to return after the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown. Water is filled in cans to be taken home to loved ones who are ill. Since expensive healthcare not  always is an option, belief in the healing power of water is a possible way out. The longing for health, peace and a better future is mixed with everyday problems such as disturbing neighbors or difficulty finding a lawyer. The film reflects the anxiety of our time and the need for something to gather around, and the hope that everything will soon get better.
