What can probing our intuition tell us about our bodies, our actions, our senses? Trailing two women’s nocturnal sojourn to a ghostly public pool – scaling a chain link fence, swimming, laughing, dodging its custodian – this hazy experimental short possesses a quietly disconcerting quality, exploring how bodies connect with their environment and friendship wordlessly presents itself.
