Synopsis À l'eau!
A grandmother is reluctant to accompany her granddaughter to the swimming pool because of her
aching body. When the child finally convinces her to go, she does nothing but complain all they way
there. However after she finally enters the swiming pool she immediately feels relaxed. Now she
doesn't even want to leave the pool anymore!
