About

Burt Lancaster leads this surreal Technicolor interrogation of the American Dream. Visiting friends for an afternoon pool party, Ned Merrill realises he can dip into a chain of neighbouring backyard pools on his return home. At each stop, he confronts an incident from his life that opens up his complicated and troubling past.
