Home Swim Home

About This Movie

Home Swim Home, directed by Valérie Leroy, is a quirky little comedy that explores themes of resilience and adaptation. Mia, hitting her thirties and fresh out of a divorce, really feels the weight of her new life in a rather grim housing project. The film's tone is a blend of light-heartedness and underlying melancholy, which really pulls you in. Mia's journey, especially as a former swimming champ, is both humorous and poignant as she gives swimming lessons without a pool—kind of absurd, right? The performances are genuine, showcasing the struggles and camaraderie of her neighbors. It's a distinctive take on self-discovery and community, with a unique atmosphere that sticks with you long after the credits roll.

Great character-driven narrative. · Unique take on community and resilience. · A blend of humor with deeper themes.
