在这部废柴联盟纪录片/短片/运动片中,在繁华的伦敦市中心，有一处闹中取静又平平无奇的池塘。冬天冰冷，平均温度在0°上下。《废柴联盟》的故事，就围绕这一汪池水的冬季展开。一群同样平平无奇的中年男人，组成了一支特立独行的游泳俱乐部，并将冬季池塘游泳作为严肃的事务和挑战。他们的行为引起了年轻的导演荷莉的好奇。她决定用一个冬季跟拍纪录。试图探索这个隐秘的角落，也逐渐揭示了这群中年人如何给池塘里盛满了生活的喜剧、辛酸和深刻。
本片入围上海肯道尔探险山地电影展《蓝色星球》单元。
Every weekend through the winter, a group of middle-aged men, who dub themselves the East German Ladies Swimming Team, plunge into the freezing waters of a pond in central London. 'The Home for Broken Toys' follows the team through one season to explore their motivations for braving the extreme cold each week, a decision which seems alien to the filmmaker. The reasons she discovers are by turns comedic, poignant, and profound.
