This documentary follows three men — Oded, an Israeli high-tech professional; Munqeth, a Jordanian environmentalist; and Yusuf, a Palestinian lifeguard — united by their passion for swimming and their determination to save the dying Dead Sea. Together, they plan a groundbreaking event: the first-ever swim across the Dead Sea, from Jordan to Israel, aiming to draw global attention to the environmental catastrophe unfolding in their own backyard. As they recruit international swimmers and face the physical dangers of the swim, they also navigate deep cultural differences, political realities, and personal struggles. Against the backdrop of breathtaking landscapes and environmental devastation, their journey shows that the only way to save the sea is to bridge divisions — one swim at a time.
