Ytterligare en film där man efter biobesöket googlar upp huvudpersonen för mer info! Fin tidskänsla i miljö, kläder och tankesätt men med ett underliggande stråk av tråkighet när det kunde varit mer spännande…

Filmen handlar inte om hur otroligt krävande det är att simma i ett dygn (!). I stället är det kvinnorollen som är den största utmaningen, Bauer simmar för att hon kvävs av de för henne omöjliga kraven på vem hon förväntas vara.

What is The Swedish Torpedo about? Toggle content

In the summer of 1939, as the shadow of World War II looms over Europe, one woman's passion ignites a battle against societal norms. Sally Bauer, a determined single mother from Sweden, is consumed by her dream of swimming across the English Channel. Despite facing immense pressure from her family and community—who threaten to take her son away—Sally embarks on an extraordinary journey that challenges both her body and spirit. With every stroke in the unforgiving waters, she defies expectations and strives to carve her own path. This inspiring tale of courage explores themes of ambition, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and child as she fights for freedom in more ways than one.
