A poetic fairy-tale told only with images and international dialogue. The characters revolve around an old public swimming pool in a building which looks more like a cathedral in the middle of a wasteland. Three people live there: the blind father who hankers after times past, the mother who charges buttons for admission, and a son (Denis Lavant) who has never ventured outside. A young woman (Chulpan Hamatova) brings a breath of life from the outside but the cathedral-swimming pool is condemned. Wikipedia
