When not caring for his ailing mother, twenty-three-year-old Damon can be found swimming laps at the Sea Point Pavillion. Here he meets the confident Nico, who immediately charms him back to his home. Damon is torn between dealing with his mother’s terminal illness and keeping his sexuality a secret from her. His desire to be truthful is tested when her health takes a turn for the worse, forcing him to choose between his young lover and an unspeakable promise to help end her life.
A tender portrait of caregiving, the longing for intimacy and the heartbreak of letting go, Salt Water Pool Boy is a sensual exploration of love and loss charting a young man’s journey from Cape Town to Rome to Paris, from working on a film set in Cinecittą and obsessing over a male prostitute, to trying to salvage his long-term relationship by searching for intimacy in a string of one-night stands.
When a casual hookup threatens to open old wounds, Damon realises he has yet to fully come to terms with his troubled past.
