Tuvalu

Veit Helmer, DE, 1999, 91 min., OV 

Tuvalu is the name of an island which Anton dreams of escaping to - a dream which seems unlikely to come true, given that he works as the maintenance man at the rundown pool owned by his father. Located in the middle of nowhere, the pool has been deserted for years, but Anton manages to convince his blind father that the pool is still popular. When Anton's entrepreneur brother Gregor hatches a scheme to have the pool razed and sold off as real estate, Anton must enlist the help of the few regulars who support the pool. Banding together, the group attempts to save the pool from a health inspection that will put it out of business, while Anton tries to win the love of his longtime friend Eva.
