Not just the body in this case, but also the mind. Also overcoming obstacles and being able to compete in something that would likely look impossible at the beginning of the movie. A nice almost fairy tale like story, that can be described like a feel good movie! -
The actors really do their best to convey not just the emotions, but the emotional journey and the flaws they inhabit. A comedy drama that shows quite some craftmanship.

Together, they feel free and helpful. They will put all their energy into a discipline previously owned by women: synchronized swimming. So, yes it's a weird idea, but this challenge will allow them to find meaning in their lives...

Getting in shape
An excellent human study
The best way for me to watch such a film is to consider only the human and touching way of showing the characters. Each of them is interesting in his own way. But for the rest, I hate this film because of its naivete. It looks like an American movie for silly audiences. And seeing men practicing a sport made for women, sorry but that made nearly puke. I could not bear it.
poetic comedy
Brilliant French comedy. Subtle characters, fantastic settings, the camera is amazing. Very poetic writing. Superb cast. Laughing and crying for two hours. The topic of male synchronized swimming is really secondary, this movie is extraordinary, the script is razorsharp. No wonder it was a huge hit in France. It´s genious. The people who created this piece you would just die for to have as friends.
