Water polo team The Shiny Shrimps have little hope of achieving their goal to compete in the world’s biggest LGBTQ+ sporting event, the Gay Games. Their undisciplined behavior (in and out of the pool) has team captain Jean searching for a new coach to whip the Shrimps into shape. He arrives in the form of World Silver Medal list swimmer Matthias Le Goff who, after making a homophobic remark on live TV, is offered redemption by means of training and reigning in the flamboyant Shrimps. The Shiny Shrimps, however, have other ideas. They prefer partying to serious practice and so, Matthias is forced to reconsider his professional and personal priorities. Should he quit for selfish reasons or hit the road to Croatia with this uncoordinated shoal of water divas and ensure that The Shiny Shrimps will become Queens Of The Pool? (Peccadillo Pictures)

How do you punish someone for making a homophobic remark on live TV? Hand him the position of coach of the gayest team ever to play water polo in France! The Shiny Shrimp should drama and road movie in the genre column along with comedy, as it offers several serious lines along with plenty of humorous scenes, and at times it reminded me a bit of the Australian film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert with its road-trip-character. It's definitely a very crazy ride full of colour, singing and water polo, but without forgetting the importance of friendship, family and the ever-present impermanence of life.
