Lili is 20 years old when she sets sail with her brother Paul, leaving her fiancé, Vincent, to anxiously await her return to Bordeaux. Paul is an experienced sailor, but crossing the Atlantic in a sailboat is no small feat. As fate would have it, Paul and Lili meet a pair of strangers who become fast friends. The voyage isn't always easy, nor the weather forgiving. The Azores, West Africa, Dakar, and then finally, the long voyage across the Atlantic... Their arrival in Brazil awakens a sensation of well-being, contentment, and the feeling of being completely present in the here and now.
