Le Grand Bain: A Swimmers’ Comedy

In preparation for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, the Embassy of France and the Maison Française are organizing a series of film screenings related to athletics. This installment of the series will feature Gilles Lellouche’s 2018 comedy “Sink or Swim” (Original title: Le Grand Bain). The film focuses on several 40-something guys, all on the verge of a mid-life crisis, who decide to form their local pool’s first synchronized swimming team — for men.

This event will also be your chance to discover the photographic exhibit currently displayed in La Maison Française on the theme of “Champions”. This exhibit, designed in conjunction with Paris 2024, will include intimate portraits of high-level athletes who, beyond their sporting achievements, are committed to social issues through which they refine their status as athletes.
