NUMAKAGE PISCINA PÚBLICA [DOCS DEL MES]

Synopsis

For more than fifty years, Numakage, a suburban public pool in Tokyo known as an “ocean” in a landlocked city, has served older people, families, and gay cruising communities. Faced with its demolition, despite local opposition, the film traces collective grief through the five stages of Kübler-Ross, questioning a loss normally reserved for human death.
