The story

What Is Swans About?

The premise of Swans without spoilers.

After his ex‑girlfriend falls into a coma in Berlin, a father takes their son Manuel with him, visiting the clinic daily. Manuel feels displaced and roams the winter‑washed city on his skateboard. The motionless body of the woman unsettles both, prompting the son to wrestle with emerging sexuality while the father confronts his aging body, set against the cold, emotionally distant urban backdrop.
