  Men Who Swim Together
  Genre:

   
  Text:

  Men Who Swim Together is a humorous and poignant look at a group of middle aged underachievers who have found unlikely success as members of Sweden’s all male synchronised swimming team. Inspired by classical Esther Williams’ techniques from the 1950s, this group of train drivers and meat buyers, of archivists and teachers soon became passionate exponents of the sport. Now their goal is next years World Synchronised Swimming Championships for men in Milan. During the year, over half of the team will turn 40. It is a period when typically the practical part of life takes over and dreams are laid to one side. It is a time to realise that life really is passing one by, and a time to wonder whether it is too late to change, or whether it is not so bad after all.
