Plot
A boy in abject poverty works in a hotel and becomes obsessed with a swimming pool in the opulent hills of Panjim, Goa, India. His life gets turned upside-down when he attempts to meet the mysterious family who lives at the house.
Sinekatalog’s take
A poor boy in a Goan hotel becomes fixated on a wealthy family's swimming pool, and his obsession leads him toward unexpected contact. Understated and tender, with a keen eye for class division. A lovely pick for fans of intimate, naturalistic cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
