Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
哈哈哈，五个少年十分可爱，就是结尾有点。。。。说不出来的别扭。
男子「花样」游泳队需要「男子气概」撑场吗？显然不，相对于「男性雄风」来说，这群正等待着「被定义」的少年人更需要「女性气质」加持。非常遗憾，女性在《五个扑水的少年》里不是藏在男性的「自我」想象、凝视和规训当中，就是「自愿」翻过身去——成功被「花式」父权「征服」同化——成为社会「分工」人。讽刺的是，少年人放弃自己「定义自己」的权利而去，转而投靠身在体制内，心却游离于理想与现实之间的「成功学」教练门下——倘若「前任」教练定义下的「我们」是关在笼中唯命是从的海豚，那么取而代之的「新任教练」则是「老奸巨猾」明显带着「江湖」气息难以被「文明」驯服「整天装酷扮帅」的「野生」雄狮。影片对少年人的快速「社会化」成长过程有任何反思吗？没有，直到最后一幕「营养」专家还在诡辩和鸡娃。可是理想喂多了，就容易——欺诈。
意料之外地惋惜。创作节奏上的虎头蛇尾带来的影响几乎是致命的，懂得「收」很重要，懂得如何去「放」更加难得。当大部分时间堆叠铺就的真切感被突如其来的鸡血冲淡，电影世界里便又多了一段光环加持的逐梦旅程。
汉化的算是相当成功，导演还有些场面调度的小巧思，值得鼓励
观影效果特别好
她没有走上舞台和他共舞 他没有追上那辆出租车 “我们在哪里见过吗？”“见过吧，大概。” 只是稍微想起 点到为止的情绪 又是一年726 我想他们不会再见了
观影效果特别好
豆瓣评分偏低了一点。如果在这个夏天上映多好啊。
流动的碎片的情绪化的倒叙故事是挺好，但实在对他俩演的情侣没感觉，网盘画质也影响观感…
不是特别好，主演里缺少一个妻夫木聪这样的超新星帅哥，理完发我都分不出谁是谁。编排上也没有原版那种好笑，感情戏太隐晦了。但最后一大群只穿裤衩的男生奔出来还是觉得好可爱啊，男生最可爱就是这种时候，人生的高光时刻。男主角在医院里哭，把我也差点看哭了，可怜又傻气。可能这就是不早恋的社会主义接班人特色吧，砥砺奋进最动人。
只有晚上的排片叫我爸一起来看的，挺不戳，几个主演都像小版的线上演员
1.故事内容不太吸引人，应该不太有人会关心男子花样游泳的故事
这是青春该有的样子，热血，搞笑，感动。青春无畏，自己才能定义的人生
电影院看完出来后劲很大，感觉没看够，花样游泳好厉害啊，导演和演员都用心了，真棒👍
我以我贫瘠的阅片量表示 这是近几年最好的bg爱情片 后劲好大 池松好绝
比日暮好很多啊，片里这种状态与氛围更真实，日复一日年复一年啊
没看原版，本土化部分做的挺好的，故事也挺完整，青春真好
年度最佳国产青春片！！青春的样子，不应该只在回忆里，要在当下，在今天，在眼前。另外，很开心这里的青春是游泳，不是足球。
このまま時間が止まればいいのになって思う瞬間が。
扑水少年视觉上鲜嫩精神上热血，是人世间最美好最可爱的风景吧~
