Strong and disciplined swimmer Kuba is sideswiped by the feelings when he meets handsome Mikal. Their connection is instantaneous and intoxicating, leaving Kuba to grapple with conflicting emotions. Suddenly his comfortable life with his girlfriend Sylwie is less interesting, and his motivation to compete as a top-tier athlete dissipates. Unable to deny himself any longer, Kuba begins a relationship.
"A beautifully acted gay love story with an unhappy ending" (The Hollywood Reporter)
