“A drama about maritime rescue in the Mediterranean, inspired by real events surrounding the founding and work of the organization ‘Jugend rettet’: Shocked by how many people die in the Mediterranean while fleeing to Europe, a group of young people launches a crowdfunding campaign to help. With no experience in maritime rescue, they use the money they’ve raised to buy an old ship, begin helping people in distress in the Mediterranean, and, over time, save the lives of more than 23,000 people. But in the course of their idealistic mission, their understanding of law and justice is put to the test as they face the obstacles they encounter along the way.” filmdienst.de
