The film stars Rob Brydon, Jim Carter, Jane Horrocks, Adeel Akhtar, Daniel Mays, Charlotte Riley, Thomas Turgoose, Rupert Graves and Nathaniel Parker. The movie tells the story of a man suffering a mid-life crisis who finds new meaning to his life as part of an all-male, middle-aged, amateur synchronized swimming team. Aschlin Ditta (Scenes of a Sexual Nature) wrote the screenplay inspired by the 2010 documentary Men Who Swim. Stewart le Marechal (The Infidel) & Anna Mohr-Pietsch are producing the project for Met Film, alongside Maggie Monteith (The Experiment, Brotherhood) for Dignity Film Finance. Mole has previously collaborated with Parker on such features as An Ideal Husband, The Importance of Being Earnest, Dorian Gray, Othello, St. Trinians and Dad’s Army. Swimming with Men is set to be released in the UK in 2018.
