''Knife in the Water'' is a Polish film from 1962. It was the feature-film debut of Creator/RomanPolanski.
Andrzej and Krystyna, a middle-aged man and his young wife, are driving to a lake to go sailing. On the way, they pick up a young man who is hitchhiking. Andrzej and Krystyna let the young man come on the boat with them. Tensions gradually rise as the three of them sail the lake.
