In this adaptation of Deborah Levy’s bestselling novel of the same name, Christopher Abbot (Bring Them Down, Poor Things) stars as war correspondent Josef in Swimming Home.

Josef and his partner Isabel find a naked stranger floating in the pool of their holiday villa. When Isabel unexpectedly invites the stranger to stay, the stranger's presence takes root. The gaps between the family members grow and Josef must confront the childhood memories he has locked away for so many years.

Why has the stranger come and is she even real?

Set against the dazzling beauty of an Aegean summer, the truth inside this story is that – like life – nothing can be expected.
