Two African refugees learn to crew a racing sailboat with an Italian team at the world championships in Barcelona. The two African men had seen 150 of their fellow immigrants drown like flies before their eyes, and escaped from Libyan prisons twice to risk their lives at sea. The Italians wanted to show them that sailing can be a sport and pleasure. They see dolphins for the first time. They speak in English with Italian subtitles.
