Dolphin

Anna leads her seven-year-old son, Robert, to the beach for his final 'Dolphin' swimming lesson. The sun glints off the water, children's laughter fills the air, and the instructor's voice calls out familiar drills. Yet, beneath this facade of a perfect summer day, a subtle dissonance grows. In Robert's hesitant strokes and the rhythm of his breath, Anna detects a fracture. The comforting rituals of the beach—the towels, the sunscreen, the encouraging words—begin to feel like a fragile dam holding back a truth she can no longer avoid. A mother's intuition sharpens into a painful clarity.
