Pool

Ido Weisman

Israel

12 minutes

 

A warm spring morning in the kibbutz’s public swimming pool. Despite being an adult, Aryeh (60) does not know how to swim, so he is led to the deep water by the swimming instructor who, in his opinion, was the most worthy – his 13-year-old son, Yoav. In the early hours of the morning, when the pool is relatively empty, Aryeh and his shameful presence are easier to carry for Yoav.
But what will happen with the arrival of Yoav’s classmates? 
Standing between his shameful father and the popular classmates, the delicate balance in the water becomes unbearable.
