    In my opinion, this film was decent, but not something I would choose to watch again due to its lengthy runtime. The storyline revolves around an elderly individual striving to achieve their dream of becoming a swimmer, a significant personal accomplishment given the challenges they face in the vast ocean. While the concept of an elderly swimmer overcoming obstacles is commendable, I found the lack of dramatic events somewhat puzzling. The movie seemed to be missing those intense, gripping moments that typically drive a narrative forward. Although the characters addressed some questions along the way, the overall pacing made the film feel somewhat lackluster and monotonous. Nevertheless, the desire to see if the protagonist reaches their goal kept me engaged until the end. While I did watch it through once, I don't see myself revisiting this film anytime soon as it didn't leave a lasting impact on me.
