Her eyes. Her doubts. And the balance between what she feel and what she knows. A film about a swimming lesson. About a mother. And about few gestures from trainer to his student , who, for her, are more than unusual . The film has the beautiful science to use , in wise manner, that pieces. The result - mix of fragility and questions. And that does it a real special film.

Child predator! Stranger danger!
webmaster-839431 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
The child predator ogles the young boy throughout lessons, then tries to lure him into the changing room with the predator, instead of with the trusted adult who brought him to swimming practice. The predator even urges the boy to come into the predator's car with her. But the predator is foiled by the boy's swimming teacher.
This was probably not what the director intended anyone to take away from the short film. But the director is a woman, and seems to think that a stranger trying to lure a child away from his entrusted caretaker is okay, provided the one doing the luring is a woman, and the trusted caretaker is a man.
The intended lesson of this film is apparently that any man treating a child with affection and care, must be regarded with suspicion, while women should be encouraged to intervene based on their own lurid fantasies.
