In Production
Summer 1999: Simon has just finished school. After the summer holidays, his father’s plan for him is to go into effect: pre-law prep course, a “sensible” degree, career, marriage, children, retirement, death – hardly exciting, but a sure thing. Then Simon meets the cool lifeguard Mira at the town’s public pool, and he is smitten. To be close to her, he gets a temporary job at the pool, while his father thinks he’s at the pre-law seminar. His father, of all people, becomes part of a ‘misunderstanding’ that brings Simon and Mira closer together. But then Simon’s cover is blown, and his summer of love threatens to turn into a nightmare.
