The last whistle (Ostatni gwizdek)

Short Fiction, 30min, Poland 2020

Two boys live on the beach with their domineering father, who constantly craves the impossible of his sons, who he thinks should be professional swimmers. Sun, sand and family scars which will not heal all collide in this heart-breaking tale of turmoil at home.
