SYNOPSIS
In a sequence of silent, improvisational fragments, a camera observes a swimming pool from the 17th floor of a Miami hotel room. Nothing specific is revealed. A man floats in time and space. A couple comes into physical contact and pull apart, only to come together again. A woman sinks and rises. A group of swimmers creates an abstract choreography. As wind and sunlight move across the water, the duration of the trace across the surface of the screen recalls the gestural and painterly qualities of Impressionism.
