Short description

40-year-old Bertrand has been suffering from depression for the last two years and is barely able to keep his head above water. Despite the medication he gulps down all day, every day, and his wife's encouragement, he is unable to find any meaning in his life. Curiously, he will end up finding this sense of purpose at the swimming pool, by joining an all-male synchronised swimming team.

What's left behind the scenes

Prior to filming, the actors trained for seven months, primarily alongside Julie Fabre, a former coach of the French Olympic synchronized swimming team. Initially skeptical, she later told Gilles Lellouche that preparing the actors would take three weeks.
