On a diving board, often In a nocturnal, surreal atmosphere imbued with a great deal of humor, two characters bring this abandoned, almost wasteland swimming pool back to life. <\/em><\/p>\n

It paints the portrait of an insomniac in a bathing suit and her mischievous partner, who accompanies her on her nocturnal wanderings, alternating between lifeguard, maintenance man and occasional confidant. Between dreams and bursts of life, this duo of intranquillists probes every physical and narrative potential, suspended above the void that calls to them, in that flash of pure present where fear and desire suddenly go together. <\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ rc_link_color=”primary-1″ rc_link_hover_color=”primary-2″ tablet_sm_width=”1″ grve_css=”{“desktop“:{“border-top“:1,“border-right“:1,“border-bottom“:1,“border-left“:1,“border-top-left-radius“:“8“,“border-top-right-radius“:“8“,“border-bottom-right-radius“:“8“,“border-bottom-left-radius“:“8“,“padding-top“:“25“,“padding-right“:“20“,“padding-bottom“:“20“,“padding-left“:“20“,“border-color“:“#fc520f“,“border-style“:“dotted“,“class“:“grve-wpb-1670838323994“}}”]
