Teenage swimmer Amanda (Tegan Moss) dreams of swimming the English Channel. Her home town is slowly losing its fishing industry and her father has to leave to find work. One day, she spot an old man jumping off a bridge. She dives into the cold water to save the suicidal man. Instead, Mr. McRae (Hume Cronyn) is a different breed who is simply going out for a swim in the freezing cold water.
It's a sweet little Canadian film. I like the introduction of these characters. It's a nice premise. The first half is great but the story runs out of steam. The drama isn't there in the second half. It's too nice and it becomes a movie without tension. It's still very sweet.
