From Kreuzberg

Prinzessinnenbad is this German documentary about a public swimming pool in Kreuzberg. Immigrants, kids, old people, the neighborhood sweating in chlorine and sun. No plot, no arc, no real narrative—just summer days and whatever a community looks like when nobody’s filming.

Watching it, I kept waiting for something to happen, for the film to make a point about something. It never did. Just stayed present in that particular corner of Berlin that feels more real than anything else shot there.
