Unable to stand by and watch as countless refugees lose their lives attempting to reach Europe by sea, a group of young Berliners take action. Inexperienced but driven by passion and courage, they launch a crowdfunding campaign to buy an old ship. Venturing into the Mediterranean, they embark on a mission to save thousands of people. But their efforts soon put their understanding of law and justice to the test.
