Sweden, 1939.
As the shadow of war looms over Europe, Sally Bauer, a 30-year-old single mother, dreams of a different kind of battle: swimming across the English Channel and making history. But her ambition disturbs those around her. Misunderstood by society and threatened by her own family, she faces a heartbreaking choice: to give up her dreams or to defy the established order.
Not just to break a record, but to prove that a woman can choose her own destiny.
