Fatigue and commitment, desire to win and passion, but also statuesque bodies, boisterous senses and the awareness of being human and fragile. Erez is a rising star in the Israeli swimming scene, battling to win a ticket to the Olympics. When he meets handsome and talented Nevo, his competitor for the medal, new desires explode. He must deal with an unprecedented challenge, never faced before, more overwhelming and difficult than any competition. What is worth more: a medal or happiness?
