Love at first sight is somewhat similar to the first swimming lesson - you fall into the water and do everything to remain afloat. Samir (act. Samir Guesmi) is experiencing this comparison first hand when trying to find a way to the heart of a swimming instructor Agathe (actress Florence Loiret Caille): pretending he does not know how to swim, he takes swimming lessons under Agathe's guidance. "It is so...French!" sigh two Icelanders, when they hear this crazy lovestory.
