He arranges a date for a bizarre role-play and she is spying on him, firmly believing that he is having an affair with a younger woman. The chase is on.
This film questions not only the rules of the swimming pool, but also of gender norms and social conventions. As well, it explores the feeling that emerges when one has managed to overcome one’s shame.
White middle-class hipsters dress up as hippies. Their performance of freedom meshes with Christian iconography as a voice ponders an upstanding life. Where people’s assholes are brutally shut tight, abolishing the hierarchization of bodies is unmasked as an empty promise. A bloody satire of heteronormative body horror.
