Synopsis
Human compassion and persistence are celebrated in this uplifting and well-acted story about a boy and his aquatic friend. Based on real events, it’s a thoughtful and sincere family drama in which a lonely, young outcast called Sawyer develops a powerful bond with Winter, an injured dolphin. The brave and totally cute bottlenose lost her tail in a crab trap, and is now struggling to survive without it at a marine hospital. But dedicated Sawyer’s got a radical idea that could offer Winter the miracle she needs: approaching a specialist doctor to give the critter a prosthetic replacement. So begins an amazing journey to recovery that poignantly provides inspiration and hope for people all around the world.
