Krasoplavci in Milan

“If women play football and ice hockey, or do boxing and lift weights, why can’t men stir the waters of typically women’s sports?”

What started as great fun evolved into a serious international competition called the “Men’s Cup”. The film follows a group of misfits on their “Grande Tour” to Milan, who was among the first male swimming groups in the world.
