Shower scene in American graffti

A couple of high school graduates spend one final night cruising the strip with their buddies before they go off to college.

College graduates deal with Vietnam and other issues of the late '60s.

This is the same type of film as the one made in Rotterdam in 1991. I tried to film myself while I was taking a shower, but the steam and fog are the main elements.

They come here to wash, to stay clean. Some are in distress, others run out of hot water. The bath-showers are their ephemeral refuge, before returning to the city, to the street. Here we recover strength and cause. Yet violence is never far away. A bad look, an insult, a sudden gesture. The staff of the bath-showers, prevents slippage. Out of the world, it's a whole world.

Short film directed by Anja Czioska.

Multiple scenes in showers.

Sweaty guys leave the field of play to work the player's field in the locker room! First, surfers Joe Montez and Tony Spinelli hang 10 at the beach, then shower off and get off in the communal shower stalls. Next, Pierce Coppola and Andre Savage play America's favorite pastime, then play America's other favorite pastime under the water nozel. Then, Lazar Jonich and Rob Dean practice their football skills in their jerseys, then get to know each other through a hole in the bathroom stall wall, finishing up with Lazar topping Rob in the shower room. Finally, Jeremy Brooks and Derrick Mills shoot some hoops, then soap up and slip and slide together until Jeremy tops Derrick in the shower stall.
