Well-off ad man Ned Merrill is visiting a friend when he notices the abundance of backyard pools that populate their upscale suburb. Ned suddenly decides that he'd like to travel the eight miles back to his own home by simply swimming across every pool in town.

What a strange, strange film. One of those you really can't describe what it is about. Where you can tell there's something below the surface. It has very European vibe. Those looking for a conventional plot will be left disappointed.
