Swimming across the Straits of Dover. He swims across the Straits of Dover to meet his girlfriend in England and to become a Manchester United player.

The bond that develops between the two, transcending race and age, is a moving story that will touch your heart. The film was a huge hit in France, attracting 1 million viewers, and became a social phenomenon when a huge controversy broke out involving the minister in charge of immigration. -17-year-old Kurdish refugee Bilal arrives on foot from Iraq in Calais, the northernmost port town in France. After an unsuccessful attempt to smuggle himself across to the other side of the Strait, he is left with no other option but to swim across the Strait of Dover. He has only one goal: to reach his girlfriend Mina, who is from the same country and has emigrated to England. Simon, on the other hand, is a Frenchman who used to be a famous swimmer but is now a coach and separated from his wife. They meet at a public swimming pool. In a place where it is illegal to help illegal immigrants, the two men continue to teach each other despite the danger of law enforcement, and eventually a feeling of father-son love develops between them...
