In the sea, a man swims. As he does, memories come to the surface. From his early childhood to his life as a man, all his memories are linked to water. Some are happy, some glorious, some traumatic. This story will be that of his last swim. It will take us from the source to the river-from the waters of childhood pools to those of swimming pools-from a North African country to the shores of the Mediterranean-from Olympic stadiums to water retention basins- from concentration camps to the dream beaches of  Reunion.
