30 Lug Anders als Gestern

Isabell is in her early twenties, a former competitive swimmer, and ended her career early. She wanted a different life, one of her own choosing. She remains connected to the water, however, by working as a swimming instructor for children at an indoor pool on the outskirts of town. The water is a familiar place and a mirror of her very existence. When Manuel reenters her life—a childhood friend from her competitive swimming days, something she thought she had left behind returns. Manuel still sees her as  the person she was back then, which inevitably confronts her with her past. At the same time, she meets Domenik, an architect planning the renovation of the swimming pool. He is the father of eight-year-old Adrian. A cautious closeness develops between Domenik and Isabell reserved, and almost accidental. Then the accident happens, as if out of nowhere. During a swimming lesson, Adrian slips at the edge of the swimming pool. He falls into coma. Isabell quits the job. She can’t leave her room, and unable to express herself, she slowly gets to know, that every life bears its own tragedy. From one moment to the next, life changes. The life you knew before. Closeness is hard to bear, but so is distance. All the characters try in their own way, to cope with the incomprehensible. Isabell returns to the place of her childhood, to her parents’ house, where her sister now lives. Domenik tries to push, what happened out of his mind, until it leads to a fight with Liliane. Nothing stays the same.
