The Swimsuit Issue - Alt flyter (1:38) 2009
Set in Sweden, a group of men who play floorball decide to become synchronized swimmers and complete in the World Cup. Thinking this was a competetion for women only, they learn that synchronized swimming was originally known as formation swimming and was for males only. The men are all middle aged and not in the best of shape for competition. They receive help from Fredrik's teenage daughter, Sara, who is a synchronized swimmer herself. Frederik and his daughter grow closer as Sara coaches the team. This gentle comedy deals with issues of gender discrimination, friendship, loyalty, courage and determination. This quirky film has a gentle and sweet nature with likable characters. The soundtrack is an added bonus. All and all, this is a charming movie. See it.
