The Mediterranean Sea is a deadly desert for those who want to cross and reach Europe. Off the coast of Libya, the crew of the Ocean Viking are on the lookout for lost boats. After a high-risk rescue, shipwrecked travelers and rescuers live together aboard awaiting to dock at a safe port. This period on board is the first shelter the survivors get in the midst of their journey, fostering a unique bond with the rescuers. A human link which is like a life jacket.
