A bunch of mid-fourty men, with big bellies, suffering from anxiety or depression or severe financial troubles, come together as a dysfunctional swim team. They are all total loosers and they s(*k at swimming, but it's so endearing and charming to watch them try so hard how to swim well, while they struggle with their mondane and depressing lives.
True to life dialogues. True to life characters. True to life insecurities, fears and despair. True to life examples of seemingly total failures. And they made a wonderfully charming comedy about it. A comedy like only the French can make them. Bless the French.
