Shall We Swim

Tien-Yu FU 2011 Taiwan Fiction color 33min Mandarin Digi Beta
This 33-minute comedy is shot from the angles of the two teenage protagonists. The teenager girl tries to explore her sexual awakening. In the swimming pool, she accidently discovers the secret of sexual pleasure in front of the water outlet, while the teenager boy awkwardly searches the path to sexual happiness on the
little golden mannequin. Water flowing images symbolize the searching of erotic desire. The sexual/self-exploration of young lives has just begun. Instead of the mainstream discourses which threaten teenagers with STDs and stigmatize those who dare to explore and express themselves, this film is a positive representation
of the teenagers’ sexual education.
