Synopsis

Swimmer is an unflinching and revelatory look at adolescent sexual obsession at its most dark and disturbing. This shattering drama opens with a prologue from the protagonist, a 14-year-old boy, revealing his undeclared crush on a woman twice his age and a harrowing determination to make her his own. When he fails to approach her, he seethes with frustrated desires.

What follows is an uncompromising portrait of the struggles of a former potential Olympic swimming champion who now lives a reclusive life cloistered in her flat next to the boy's.

He, unseen, patiently observing, becomes obsessed with the swimmer, provoking perverted sexual fantasies that lead to intense behaviour within him, bordering on the misogynistic. He ultimately turns her already troubled life upside down when their paths accidentally cross. The boy manipulates his way into her heart. Both are emotionally fragile and fetishes abound in the teenager's mind. It isn't long before his desires become inexorable and he sets out to destroy what he can't have, leading to an explosive, nail-biting climax.

Synopsis

The All Together stars Martin Freeman (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Office) as Chris – a frustrated, over-worked and under-paid television producer who is desperately seeking a new home, career, girlfriend and best friend. Having arranged for several local estate agents to come and value his house which he reluctantly shares with his free-loader flatmate Bob (Velibor Topic – Kingdom of Heaven, Snatch), Chris is unexpectedly called in to work, forcing him to leave Bob in charge of showing the agents around the property. Bob promises Chris that when the doorbell rings, he’s going to open it and invite anyone he sees standing there inside. For once, Bob resolves not to fail his only friend. Understandably, when Chris returns later that evening with a colleague - arrogant television presenter Jerry Davies (Richard Harrington – Rehab, Spooks) - he is quite surprised to find a deeply disorientated American gangster holding his flatmate, four estate agents, two Jehovah’s Witnesses and a terrified children’s entertainer captive in the kitchen. It’s at this point that things start to get a bit strange.
