The Shiny Shrimps
Directed by Maxime Govare, Cédric Le Gallo
Produced by Les improductibles, Kaly Productions
A warm, energetic comedy about redemption and acceptance that uses sports and queer pride as vehicles for celebrating community and joy.
Matthias Le Goff, an Olympic champion at the end of his career, makes a homophobic statement on TV. His punishment: coach the Shiny Shrimps, a flamboyant and amateur gay water-polo team. They have only one thing in mind: to qualify for the Gay Games in Croatia where the hottest international LGBT athletes compete. It's the start of a bumpy and joyful ride - Faster, Higher, Stronger.
