At an unknown time in the near future, a Central-Eastern European country – fearing overpopulation as a result of an aging population – passes a gruesome law that requires everyone approaching the age of 70 be put to sleep in a humane fashion.
An elderly lifeguard gets a life-changing medical diagnosis. As a result, he has to abstain from any physical activity. This is devastating news for the lifeguard because he’s a dedicated swimming coach and former Olympic champion. Everyday he races against the younger version of himself, unable to come to terms with his present circumstances.

Director of several award-winning short films and documentaries, she is currently working on her first feature script based on the story of Seventies.
