Pool Human Story

This is a simple human story about the relationship between a boy and a girl. The movie is divided into three chapters, each covering a different period in their lives, starting from childhood when they were just 12 and 13 years old. Even as the story progresses, it feels as though they are still at the beginning. There is certainly a love story here, but one without words, kisses, or even hugs—just a search for each other and a few playful kicks in their younger days. So perhaps, more than love, this is a story about friendship.

This is an innocent film—the kind we rarely see in modern times. The first part is actually the strongest, with the child actors delivering more emotion than the older ones. The swimming subplot is used effectively, providing some beautiful scenes in the water.

In conclusion, this is not a fast-paced or thrilling film that will leave you energized, but a heartfelt story that may make you remember past friendships—and perhaps even inspire you to reach out and reconnect with someone you’ve lost along the way.
