Synopsis

A doctor and her daughter are forced to make a difficult decision that will forever change their lives. A soldier reevaluates his own humanity after witnessing heinous crimes committed in service of the Syrian regime. A smuggler in Turkey tries to make ends meet for his son. In an effort to afford their own escape, he charges refugees steep prices to escape to Greece via inflatable life rafts. A poet and his family barter for space on an overcrowded boat bound for Greece. A Greek coastguard captain spends his days and nights rescuing sinking lifeboats full of migrants, constantly haunted by those he couldn't save.
