: On October 27th, 2020 an inflatable boat leaves the coast of Dunkirk, France, to take 19 illegal immigrants to England, however, it is capsized after a few minutes. Seven migrants drowned in the English Channel, five belonged to a Kurdish-Iranian family (Rasoul 35, Shiva 35, Anita 9, Armin 6 and Artin just 15 months) who had gone on this difficult journey dreaming of a better life. This is an anima-documentary based on a true story.
