BosBros is the producer of the short movie Swimming Paradise. The 10-year olds Anne and Lotte are standing at the edge of the swimming pool, giggling. ‘Should we jump together?’ Lotte asks. They grab each other’s hand. At that moment, three boys push Lotte carelessly into the water. Gasping for air she comes back up. Anne looks at her, shocked by the situation.
It’s the beginning of a day out swimming in a subtropical swimming pool, or rather, a day out surviving. There are ways to avoid a kissing couple, blocking the entrance of the bubble bath, but there are none for annoying co-swimmers.
The events of that day make Anne and Lotte realize that their calm childhood time is over. They have never felt so uncomfortable in their own body before. But once they’re safe on their way home they call it a supercool day.
