And So We Put Goldfish in the Pool.

Watch Trailer
2017 · 28 min Drama
7.8 / 10 · TMDB

Four fifteen-year-old girls in a quiet suburb perform a strange, almost ritualistic act — releasing four hundred goldfish into their school's swimming pool. This summer gesture of quiet rebellion becomes a point of no return, a dividing line between childhood and what comes after. The film lingers with them in the days that follow, tracing the fragile threads of their friendship, their unspoken anxieties, and how a single inexplicable deed can permanently alter the course of an ordinary life.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director crafts a slow, hypnotic meditation on the cusp of adulthood, where the pool's water becomes a metaphor for the collective subconscious of youth.

What lingers after the final frame is a profound sense of melancholy beauty — the quiet drama of a friendship changing shape, captured with poetic restraint and visual grace. A haunting snapshot of a moment that cannot last. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Makoto Nagahisa
