Matthias, an Olympic swimming champion at the end of his career, makes a homophobic statement on TV. His punishment: coach the Shiny Shrimps, a VERY flamboyant, VERY bad and VERY LGBT water polo team. They have only one thing in mind: to qualify for the Gay Games in Croatia where the hottest international LGBT athletes will compete. It’s the start of a bumpy and joyful ride. If the Bad News Bears were a water polo team, and LGBT, they would be The Shiny Shrimps. Faster, Higher, Stronger… and fabulous.
