Swimmer

A haunting, impressionistic meditation on mortality and national identity told through a young man's solitary journey across Britain's waterways, culminating in an ambiguous, potentially tragic ending.

A young man swims across the rivers and lakes of Britain to a soundtrack of assorted nationalistic music. As he passes people on the banksides including children, lovers and a tramp their thoughts and conversations are also heard. Ultimately, after walking through a wood at night, the boy returns to the water and appears to sink below the surface.
