Butterfly

From a young age, Yusra Mardini has had a big dream: she wants to make it as a swimmer to the Olympics. Her sister Sara is also an ambitious athlete. However, the future of both is overshadowed by unrest and war. Together with her sister, Yusra eventually embarks on a dramatic escape to Germany.

My sister Sara screams from the waves: "Yusra! Damn, what are you doing?" I don't listen to her. I just jump into the water. My heart is pounding loudly. When I resurface, I hear the people in the boat. They are praying. The other shore is not far away. Over there, that's Europe. That's where we want to go. But the wind and waves keep pushing us off course.

Yusra Mardini has become world-famous for her escape story. For her courage and commitment to helping others, she has been recognized and honored by high-ranking personalities multiple times.
