    From the creative mind of David Brooks and George Giampietri the story of one man’s journey from Britain to Australia to discover the Brighton Icebergers.

    An inventive, hilarious and often very wet film that will take you on a tour de force of the pier politics of cold water swimming, the true romance and comedy of the steam room, and the adventures and predicaments of taking on a full winter with just a pair of Speedos and a waterproof camera.
