Gone swimming, love dad
Izidor Bistrović / Croatia / 17' / 2025.
Synopsis
Early in the new tourist season in the Adriatic, a family of six goes to the beach in Savudrija. Seven years ago, their father drowned on that beach. This is the children’s, now aged 15 to 28, and their mother’s first time going to the seaside all together after that tragic event. The filmmaker, the eldest son, records this moment without the presence of a film crew, making it possible to open up intimate conversations in the family about collective trauma and personal ways of coping with loss.
