12 years after its release, one of Josep Maria Miró’s most performed shows all around the world comes back onstage. An in-depth analysis of the edges of fear, of human relationships, of prejudices, and of confidence.
The day has arrived when the “Cavallets de mar”, a child swimming group, begin to swim without armbands. This crucial moment for the children triggers a series of suspicions, doubts, and fears. Anna, the manager of the swimming club, demands explanations to Jordi, the coach of the “Cavallets”, after some of the parents have complained about how the coach has managed the situation of a child refusing to jump into the water because of fear. Jordi assures that he has acted tactfully without reprimanding nor scaring the kid. But this is not the real problem; the parents are worried because the coach has hugged and kissed the kid in order to calm him.
