About This Program

Hide and Swim is a programme presented in an episode format. It falls under the simple, playful genre that often features short, self‑contained stories. The title suggests a light‑hearted approach, and the structure is that of a single instalment rather than a longer series. The core of the episode centres on three characters – Marvin, Oona and Silky – who gather to play a round of hide‑and‑seek. As they begin the game, Silky is particularly keen to discover the most effective hiding spot. The narrative follows their attempts at concealment, with Silky’s ambition to locate the optimal place driving the action. Throughout the short piece, the emphasis remains on the trio’s interaction during the game. Marvin and Oona join in the usual back‑and‑forth of hide‑and‑seek, while Silky’s focus stays fixed on achieving the “best” hiding place. The episode’s simple premise keeps the attention on this playful competition. In the closing moments, the characters continue their search, each hoping to outwit the others. Silky’s determination to find that perfect hiding spot provides the subtle thread that ties the brief adventure together, leaving the audience with a clear picture of a light, game‑filled encounter.
