Undertow Eyes (2009), original title Olhos de Ressaca, is a Brazilian short film.

Synopsis

Vera and Gabriel have been married for sixty years. In Undertow Eyes they wander about their own history: the first flirt, the birth of their children, life and aging. In this remembrance, images from their family collection mingle with images of the present, weaving an emotional and dreamlike universe. As a mosaic of stories and impressions, this short film looks like a personal and existential diary about love and death.{{Cite web |url=http://www.elenafilme.com/EN/director/#projects |title=ELENA |access-date=2013-05-07 |archive-date=2013-04-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130409104921/http://www.elenafilme.com/EN/director/#projects |url-status=dead }}[http://portacurtas.org.br/filme/?name=olhos_de_ressaca].PortaCurtas
