Night Swim

In a quiet suburb, the Waller family seeks a fresh start after a sudden career shift forces them into a new chapter. They acquire a weathered house anchored by a striking swimming pool, a place that promises both physical healing and a symbol of renewal. The property’s lingering charm is tinged with an almost palpable hush, as if the very water holds whispered memories of those who once called it home.

Ray is a former athlete whose body bears the scars of an unexpected retirement, and he clings to the hope that the pool’s cool depths might aid his recovery. Eve, his steady partner, watches his optimism with a mix of admiration and unease, sensing undercurrents that others might overlook. Their children, Izzy and Elliot, arrive with the restless energy of youth, ready to explore the house’s hidden corners and the allure of the gleaming water.

As the family settles in, everyday life begins to ripple with subtle oddities—a fleeting chill in the night air, the faint echo of distant splashes, and an inexplicable sense that the pool watches as much as it is watched. The house feels both sanctuary and mystery, a place where the ordinary blends with an undercurrent of something older and more enigmatic. The parents’ protective instincts heighten, and the siblings find themselves drawn together, sharing curiosity and a growing awareness that the pool might be more than just a place for recreation.

The film unfolds in a measured, atmospheric tone that balances quiet domestic moments with an ever‑present sense of unease. It invites the audience to wonder what lies beneath the surface—both in the water and within the family itself—setting the stage for a haunting exploration of hope, devotion, and the shadows that can linger where new beginnings are forged.
