Swimming Paradise

2009 · 10 min Family
1.0 / 10 · TMDB

Two ten-year-old girls go to a subtropical swimming paradise. They look forward to the wave pool and the chute, but are distracted by other, older swimmers. Like teenage girls with real breasts in the bubble bath, and big boys blocking the chute or taking their goggles. The little girls gradually seem to realise the days of their carefree childhood are numbered.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a subtle, nearly documentary-like chronicle of childhood's end, using the swimming paradise as a potent metaphor for a social microcosm. It explores that first crack in a child's perception through mundane yet deeply significant encounters.

What lingers after viewing is a quiet, poignant sense of an era slipping away, where the joy of water slides is gently replaced by the melancholy of growing up. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Lodewijk Crijns
