Zonder Meer

A campsite in the summer holidays, aimless days spent in the shade of trees. Sunlight is glittering on the lake, but nobody is allowed to swim here. A boy has disappeared and may have drowned. Lucie is trying to understand what is going on around her. How long can you hold your breath?
