Description
During a water polo camp, the young and insecure Ben tries to adjust to a ruthless social hierarchy. He befriends Eli, a lonely outsider who gets targeted by the other boys with the reputation of having a made-up disease called ‘the plague’. This starts out as a teasing game, but it quickly unveils some darker hidden reality amongst the boys. This debut from director Charlie Polinger is a chilling film, with a fantastic score that will haunt you for a long time.
