Berlin, Prenzlauer Berg. A swimming pool has been closed, but a man who has spent his entire professional life there still wanders restlessly through the corridors: Hugo, the former lifeguard. Suddenly unemployed, he cannot comprehend that everything is supposed to be over now. Gradually, Hugo's memories come together to form a picture - of himself, his father, and the history of the pool, which was used for purposes during the Nazi regime that no one dared to speak about. A powerful monologue of unsettling intensity.
