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.

A medicated man drowning in existential apathy finds an unexpected lifeline when a sudden, strange new purpose pulls him from his lethargy. This French dark comedy captures the fragile, absurd boundary between total collapse and a sudden will to live.
