Bertrand has been off work for two years, and he is depressed. His wife is wonderfully supportive of him, and encourages him. When Bertrand sees and advert for a men's synchronized swimming club looking for a new member, he applies.
And so he meets the rest of the swimmers, all middle aged men and all losers in one way or another. So, essentially, this film is about losers (no, I'm not being nasty; they refer to themselves as a bunch of losers). But when they get together, they are like a family and share their joys and disappointments.
Their coach is Delphine, but when they decide to take part in the World Championships for Men's Synchronized Swimming, their new coach is Amanda, who trains them like soldiers. We journey with them as the prepare for the Championships, and learn more about each character through their experiences and the stories they share with one another. I enjoyed the very different characters.
Off course the ending is predictable, but I believe the message here is that losers can also be winners. Never give up on your dreams. Don't ever believe you are not capable - or worthy - of accomplishing something. And if you are depressed, you need to pull yourself together and rise like a Phoenix! 'Sink or Swim' is a hilarious, feel-good, inspirational film.
Being a movie about swimming, there's bound to be eye candy here. If its fuller figure bodies in trunks you're after, you won't be disappointed! The film is very similar to 'Swimming with Men', also released in 2018.
