The Swimmer
2021, 84 minutes, Dir: Adam Kalderon, Israel.
Speedos, water, desire…and one step away from the Olympics. Erez (Omer Perelman Striks), a rising star in the Israeli swimming scene, arrives at a training camp to compete and win a spot for the Olympics. There he meets the beautiful and talented Nevo (Asaf Jonas), who awakens subconscious desires within him. In between practices, Erez attempts to fight his feelings, but ultimately understands winning a medal is less important than winning Nevo’s heart.
