Two amputee war veterans turn to adaptive sports to rebuild their lives after being injured on the frontline. They train for the swimming competition Ocean Man alongside fellow veterans as part of their recovery.
War veterans Serhii and Vasyl, both of whom have amputated legs, use adaptive sports as a method of recovery after sustaining injuries at the frontline. Their therapy includes swimming training and occasional participation in regional competitions. Though supported by close ones, they struggle with the idea of needing help, wanting to maintain their old strength and independence. Despite their resilience and strength, they are still traumatised people, both physically and mentally, and the consequences of their trauma can reveal themselves in unexpected ways. They are slowly rebuilding their lives after being injured on the frontline, navigating the difficult path of returning to civilian life.
