Nine-year-old Daan decides to take up swimming once he discovers his mother’s old swimming medals in the attic. When his school teacher encourages him to join the nearest local swimming club, Daan finds out that his mother is definitely not amused, insisting he take a medical test before he starts training for the Youth Olympic Games of 2018. Despite his mother's fears Daan doesn’t want to wait. Will Daan’s dream come true? Or perhaps more importantly, will his parents support him?

ABOUT THE DIRECTOR
|
Mari Sanders (1988) graduated in 2012 from AKV St. Joost in Breda with a bachelor in Audiovisual Design. His graduation film was "Rue Des Invalides", about a boy in a wheelchair looking for love in wheelchair-hostile Paris. A year after graduating he made the short film 'Sync' , the award winning 'Daan Durft' ('Go Daan Go') and '80% Ongeschikt' (80% Disabled), a comical documentary road movie about the pros and cons of receiving government benefits for being disabled. His personal views on disabilities (Mari was born with Cerebral Palsy, uses a manual wheelchair and is not able to walk) and the theme of 'the lonesome traveler trying to fit in' are returning themes in his films.
