520    Doaa and her family leave war-torn Syria for Egypt where 
       the climate is becoming politically unstable and 
       increasingly dangerous. She meets and falls in love with 
       Bassem, a former Free Syrian Army fighter and together 
       they decide to leave behind the hardship and harassment 
       they face in Egypt to flee for Europe, joining the ranks 
       of the thousands of refugees who make the dangerous 
       journey across the Mediterranean on overcrowded and run-
       down ships to seek asylum overseas and begin a new life.  
       After four days at sea, their boat is sunk by another boat
       filled with angry men shouting threats and insults. With 
       no land in sight and surrounded by bloated, floating 
       corpses, Doaa is adrift with a child’s inflatable water 
       ring around her waist, while two little girls cling to her
       neck. Doaa must stay alive for them. She must not lose 
       strength. She must not lose hope.
