Despite their age, a group of seniors want to take swimming lessons for the first time. The reasons for this are as varied as the students themselves. From a sailor to a housewife, everyone brings their own life story, fears and longings, while approaching the task before them with joy and humor.
A formally inventive documentary from German director Susanne Kim, this sensitive portrait of a local pool’s swimming lessons for the elderly possesses an empathetic curiosity. Through gentle observation and fantastical dream sequences, Imagine Swimming mounts a humane study in vitality and courage.
