Frequently asked questions

What is Swimming Pool about? Toggle content

Swimming Pool is a captivating thriller that delves into the complexities of human desire and the blurred lines between reality and fantasy. The story follows Sarah Morton (Charlotte Rampling), a renowned British mystery author, who travels to her publisher's upmarket summer house in Southern France to seek solitude and inspiration for her next book. However, her quiet retreat is disrupted by the unexpected arrival of the publisher's daughter Julie (Ludivine Sagnier), who personifies the carefree spirit that Sarah has long forgotten. As Julie's reckless behavior and uninhibited sexuality threaten to unravel Sarah's composure all together, their charged interactions raise the bar for an increasingly unsettling sequence of events. In the midst of the intoxicating atmosphere of the French Riviera summer, Sarah's creative process and a possible real-life murder begin to blend dangerously together in a swirling pool of tension and seduction until the truth finally surfaces.
