Le Grand Bain is a comedy-drama directed by Gilles Lellouche, starring Mathieu Amalric, Guillaume Canet and Benoît Poelvoorde.

Le Grand Bain will be available on Netflix from June 20, 2025.
Check out the trailer for Le Grand Bain for a glimpse of this comedy-drama full of sensitivity and funny moments.
Synopsis: Bertrand, Marcus, Simon, Laurent, Thierry and the others train in the corridors of their local swimming pool, under the relative authority of Delphine, a former glory of the pool. Together, they feel free and useful. They're going to put all their energy into a discipline hitherto the preserve of women: synchronized swimming. So, yes, it's a rather bizarre idea, but this challenge will enable them to find meaning in their lives...
Le Grand Bain could be of interest to fans of dramatic comedies and human stories that explore solidarity and the quest for meaning. Viewers who have enjoyed films such as Les Virtuoses (Brassed Off) or The Full Monty would find similar themes: ordinary characters embarking on an unexpected collective challenge. The film stands out for its warm-hearted approach and benevolent look at personal reconstruction through sport.
Presented at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, Le Grand Bain made its mark with its light-hearted yet profound tone. Gilles Lellouche, primarily known as an actor, steps behind the camera here to tell a story inspired by true events. The cast brings together several popular figures from French cinema, reinforcing the appeal to a wide audience.
Le Grand Bain combines humor and emotion as it follows a group of men determined to meet an unusual challenge. The film celebrates team spirit, resilience and the importance of finding one's place in the world, while offering touching and funny moments.
