故事是这样的:14岁的萨姆是个有点胖的女孩,夏天里她总泡在社区泳池,水花拍打脸颊的声音比学校的嘲笑声顺耳多了。萨姆慢慢发现,教练背后藏着一个她不敢问的秘密,而那个秘密像池底的排水口,悄悄吸走了她原本以为的平静。推荐给能接受慢节奏、愿意从生活碎片里感受情绪起伏的观众——看完你会想起自己十六岁夏天,那些说不清为什么难受的夜晚。茱莉亚·莎拉·斯通演出了一个女孩在沉默中慢慢打开自己的过程,没有夸张的台词,光是她在泳池边犹豫要不要跳下去的那个瞬间,就足够让人记住。 ♪。整部电影就像加拿大那个闷热的夏天,镜头老盯着水珠、湿漉漉的草地、主角出汗的额头,节奏慢得你能听见心跳声。
It’s the start of the spring term in a small northern town, heralding swimming lessons, hanging out with best friends, new classes and new possibilities. But this year, things are different for 14-year-old Sam. While her friends are moving on, focusing on boys, experimenting with drugs, Sam is too uncomfortable to even take off her bathing suit in front of the other girls. After landing herself into trouble, she is forced to work as a cleaner at the retirement home run by her mother. Sam finds unexpected and unlikely friendships with two of the retirement home’s residents who end up teaching Sam a few things about growing up — and growing old. (Tiff 2014)
