In the summer of 2005 Frederic Jacques, a young Belgian swimmer, attempted to cross the English Channel. With documentary footage of this event as the starting point, Metamorphosis, gradually transforms itself into a journey through all four elements.

A celebration of the English landscape and all its undercurrents, Metamorphosis is a companion piece to The Old Man of the Sea, Newby's short film made in 1990.
