The Plague
A psychological thriller about a 12-year-old boy who gets out of his depth at a children’s water polo camp, where a ruthless social hierarchy turns the experience into a breeding ground for bullying.
It’s summer 2003 and when shy but sensible new kid Ben (<b>Everett Blunck</b>) arrives at a children’s water polo camp where the 12-year-old discovers there’s a ruthless social hierarchy. He is torn between befriending or ostracising a boy called Eli (<b>Kenny Rasmussen</b>), whose skin condition the other kids dub “the plague” – but what happens if Ben catches it? <b>Charlie Polinger’s</b> Kubrickian thriller taps into the psychological horrors that can spring from adolescent imagination to explore toxic group dynamics as we wait to see if Ben will sink or swim. <b>Joel Edgerton</b> (<I>Train Dreams</I>) co-stars as the kids’ well-meaning but ineffectual coach.DramaPT1H35MN/C 18+2026-03-06Everett Blunck
