„Natatorium“ var frumsýnd á Alþjóðlegu kvikmyndahátíðinni í Rotterdam, IFFR, í febrúar 2024 og er einskonar listræn og lágstemmd hryllingsmynd. Kvikmyndin hefur hlotið fádæma góðar viðtökur meðal gagnrýnenda og almennings. Sagan tekst á við dekkri hliðar mannlegrar tilveru þegar unglingsstúlkan Lilja þarf að horfast í augu við hryllileg fjölskylduleyndarmál í heimsókn til ömmu sinnar og afa.
