Customer Reviews
Regular guys learn that regular life is profound
A group of guys in Sweden are turning 40 and it shows in their bodies and their minds and their relationships with the world and other people. They come together forming a national synchronized swimming team and train to participate in the unofficial world cup for synchronized swimming, unofficial because they are all men. In the process, which is beautifully filmed, sharply edited, well accompanied by music, and fashioned with the highest production values, the unexpected keeps occuring all the way through to the world cup event itself, which is a set of scenes that is not to be missed.
