Bovenbad (Small Pool) is a documentary about a swimming pool in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. It also tells a story about getting older as we see all kinds of people taking a bath, unaware of the presence of a camera. From little kids taking their first swimming lessons to the elderly talking about their lifes. Humorous is the story of an older man talking about his first swimming lessons in the Lake IJ, where dead rats and dogs where floating in the water: 'You just pushed them aside and that's how I learned the rhythm'.
