Plots(1)
In his 15th year of training, aspiring champion swimmer Kuba lives an uneventful life at home with his mother and girlfriend. He happily switches back and forth from good sex with Sylwia to the occasional back rub his mother craves. But Kuba has also been growing more curious about some of the boys at the gym. At a gallery opening one night, he is out of place and totally bored until he meets Michal. Sylwia picks up on his fascination, but Kuba has her heart. She keeps her feelings to herself, as from one day to the next Kuba puts Michal in the middle of his life with her. He gradually comes to recognise he has never experienced feelings as deep as those he has for Michal. It takes all the courage he can muster to face those who love him and dive in. Then he must deal with the consequences. (Matchbox Films)

This is a great queer-themed film that avoids all the ills of genre films in a major way. But then it messes it up with the cheapest of endings, in which it hits a martyred tone in order to get emotion out of the audience; it’s sovereignly directed until then, full of simple and long camera shots, minimal dialogue, and a great ambivalent atmosphere.
