Overview

Summer swimming fun on the Lahn River. Men in swimming trunks jump one after the other from a wooden jetty into the Lahn. In the first half of the film, the footage runs backwards. The film ends with a close-up of Günther Leitz (1914-1969), the youngest son of Ernst Leitz II, then sole shareholder of the optical company Leitz in Wetzlar.

Director: Oskar Barnack
