Synopsis
Samir, a tall, lanky, 40-something crane operator from Montreuil, in the
outskirts of Paris, falls head over heels in love with Agathe. He discovers
she is a swimming instructor at the local swimming pool, and, for lack of
a better plan, he decides to enlist as her student…although he can swim
perfectly. But his lie only lasts for 3 lessons, and Agathe hates liars. The
truth surfaces. Agathe is furious. The end?
Not quite! Agathe goes to Iceland on a business trip, putting an ocean
between her and Samir. But it is without reckoning with his feelings and
his stubbornness...
