Sink or Swim (Le Grand Bain)
A group of 40-something guys form a first men's synchronised swimming team in this French midlife crisis ensemble comedy. Braving the skepticism and ridicule of onlookers, and trained by a fallen champion trying to pull herself together, the group set out on an unlikely adventure.
