FlemishCatFebruary 28, 2026Excellent story (based on a true story), well executed. As a swimmer myself, I enjoyed water and swimming as the thread throughout the narrative.
I'm not a huge fan of the animation style but that's just me. I did get emotional watching the scenes taking place in the 1930s and 1940s.
