A community finds solace and connection in an aging, abandoned public pool. A blind father lost in memories, his mother seeking to keep it running, and their son who has never ventured beyond its walls form the heart of this poignant story. The arrival of a young woman sparks renewed vitality within the decaying structure, but their fragile existence is threatened by an uncertain future and the possibility of permanent closure.
