INFO
The film Octopus (2013 | 30') documents the period in 2010 that the swimming pool is taken over by a larger organiSation SRO. People fear the loss of the so-called 'Octopus feeling'. But what is this 'Octopus feeling'? In search of the Octopus, we get to meet many poeple from the swimmingpool. Paintings and animation are used to the documentary in order to show the other world of the Octopus.
