THE FUTURE IN THE STARS, THE PRESENT ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE.

Ziba wants to stu­dy astro­phy­sics, to under­stand the big pic­tu­re. And now, today, with her final gra­des at school, it all seems to be within reach — or so she thinks. She spends this day with her best mates Tara, Shea and Merf, and her bud­dy Malcolm joins them. Together, they wan­der through London. Ziba has made a detail­ed plan, from eating fal­a­fel to a mete­or show­er in the evening. And all the while, Ziba car­ri­es a secret and a decis­i­on around with him that the others don’t yet know about. LAST SWIM is a film about a sin­gle hot summer’s day, about the inti­ma­cy of fri­end­ship, about doubts, kis­ses, new begin­nings and hard-won hope.
