Desc: L'heure de la piscine: Directed by Valérie Winckler. In "Pool Time", director Valérie Winckler is a photographer and mother, who began filming students from the Ville-d'Avray commune in the western suburbs of Paris. For four years her camera looked with tender curiosity at the passage from childhood to adolescence; when the subjects are hyper-aware of their changing appearance. It reveals discomfort and shame, excitement and confidences so characteristic of a young person's growth. The bulk of the footage is in poolside interviews and exercise classes in which the camera goes underwater as well as above. (I really can't think of much more to say since it's only 26 minutes long and this is not the full plot; but a synopsis.)
