A lively hidden-object game full of competition and cooperation
In her virtual reality, nine-year-old Lina feels free—free from her own
fears and her father’s fears, which are actually always about Lina. In the real world, it’s summer in Berlin. It’s vacation time, but Lina is stuck indoors. Until her dad pulls the plug: the kid has to get out, to the outdoor pool.
The only place with supervision. A hot dog stand, a diving tower, the gum of horror, a former (almost) Olympic champion and current lifeguard with big ambitions for young diving talents, the sweltering city. Overwhelming for Lina. And then Khan shows up, also nine years old, but unlike Lina, an only child, he’s number four of seven siblings and completely in his element in the reality of the outdoor pool. When the other kids name the timid Lina as the chosen one to win the annual outdoor pool challenge and the honor of the summer, Khan suddenly sees his own honor in jeopardy. Under the watchful eye of the lifeguard—who is just getting her fancy diving competition underway—a challenge begins among the kids, full of fierce rivalry and even fiercer cooperation. Lina discovers not only her ambitious side, but also real offline friends. Only the Oracle (just Timmy after work) has long since guessed the outcome.
