La Piscina

There is a strange aura around the pool which is not only the threatening black clouds hovering over the water. The air is heavy, we breath it with difficulty, we wait for a majestic thunder announced. One by one, the various characters that inhabit this pool during the day arrive, as strange as the scenery around them. A girl without a leg, a boy who limps, one with Down syndrome and another that simply stopped talking. Air and water surround these young people, one by one, making them increasingly natural. Or were they like this when they arrived on the scene? The majestic thunder is coming, but it takes shape in the conflict between the four, under the apathetic gaze of the swimming coach. (M. M.)
