The film deals with the rare connection between two communities that, without the capricious fate that dictates the Israeli agenda, might never have met. It is an encounter and connection that Israeli society has not yet experienced. It is a film about people who, instead of losing hope, splitting up, separating, and dying as a community, chose to smooth over differences and seek common ground rather than division. It is a record of a 10-year journey. A journey of connection between people.

An unprecedented view of the Abarbanel Mental Health Center in Israel allows a film crew to document its patients' lives.Three of them present their fears and most importantly- their dreams-and for the first time, they might fulfill them.

The film follows Oded from Israel, Munqeth from Jordan, and Yusuf from Palestine with each of them living very different lives. Together they come up with a high-profile event to capture people’s attention to the environmental catastrophe happening in their own backyards. They will put together a group of international swimmers to do something that has never been done: to swim across the Dead Sea, from Jordan to Israel. The film follows this extraordinary and dangerous action, hoping to achieve media exposure to drive the region’s countries to act. However, the friendship between the trio is tricky, and the political realities and personal baggage that each one must deal with are explored. The only chance for saving the Sea lies in connecting people, bridging their divisions for the greater good. The trio are willing to take the risks because they understand their steps of trust are the only way to create change. One swim at a time.
