Knife in the Water

Acclaimed by all! Roman Polanski's tense, ironic Drama!

A claustrophobic psychological thriller that uses a confined sailing trip to explore masculine rivalry, moral complicity, and the fragility of civilized behavior.

On their way to an afternoon on the lake, husband and wife Andrzej and Krystyna nearly run over a young hitchhiker. Inviting the young man onto the boat with them, Andrzej begins to subtly torment him; the hitchhiker responds by making overtures toward Krystyna. When the hitchhiker is accidentally knocked overboard, the husband's panic results in unexpected consequences.
