Fredrik's competitive nature may have made him a burgeoning (almost) champion floorball player, but it likely also cost him his job and his marriage. Now it threatens his relationship with Sara, his ebullient teenage daughter, temporarily foisted upon her dad as his reluctant roommate, while Fredrik's ex-wife starts a new job in London. When an immature prank with his 40-something floorball buddies shows unexpected potential, Fredrik aims for a new goal: transforming his mates into Sweden's first all-male synchronized swimming team, with his single-minded sights on the world championship in Berlin. With Sara's help, the somewhat motley crew—with questionable aquatic capacities—try to stay afloat while battling hostile coaches, strict Olympic rules, sexism, homophobia and some nasty, calloused feet. The Swimsuit Issue plunges into the world of water ballet and masculine pedicures in this charming coming-of-middle-age comedy celebrating the spirit of perseverance and the importance of holding your breath. —Joanne Parsont
