Two Americans and two Norwegians, all in their early twenties, arrive in Cox's Bazar, a fishing town on the Bangladeshi coast, with a plan to build a traditional wooden sailboat by hand and sail it 7,000 miles to Australia. It is 2002, shortly after 9/11, and the world they are moving through is edgy and unsettled. Co-directors Daniel Casanova and Mario Gonzalez film the build itself: haggling over lumber and labor with local carpenters, fumbling through language barriers, and leaning on Kamal, a local fixer and self-described "boat guy," who talks them through police stops and warns them about real pirates along their route. Money runs short, permits get complicated, and the crew's confidence about actually finishing the boat wavers more than once on camera. The film stays close to daily setbacks rather than staging adventure, and the friendship with Kamal and the fishing community around him becomes as much the story as the eventual voyage itself.
