Bilal, a young Kurdish man, arrives illegally at Calais, hoping to swim across the Channel to England.  If he succeeds, he hopes to find the girlfriend he hasn’t seen for a long time and train to become a footballer.   But first he has to learn how to swim, so he begins to frequent a municipal swimming pool.  Here, he gets to know Simon, a pool attendant, who is at a loose end after his recent divorce.   Impressed by Bilal’s mad dream, Simon decides to do all he can to help it become reality...
