A playful film set around a public swimming pool in Košice, the director’s hometown in Slovakia. Through the personal memories of the pool’s visitors, spanning from World War II to the fall of the Soviet Union, Peter Kerekes tells a 66-year-long story of history. The pool becomes a stage where both life’s small and grand moments unfold—love, war, dreams, and loss. With humor and melancholy, the film paints an azure-blue picture of human longing and the stories that connect us.
