This Israeli Adventure/Drama feature film is aimed at kids and teens and follows three teen boys and a girl. When Israel’s soccer team wins a crucial match and has a chance to reach the world cup, these four diehard soccer fans are determined not to miss the game, even when it is moved to the nearby island of Cyprus. Inspired by the mythological journey of Kon-Tiki, they manage to construct a DIY raft on their own and cross a stretch of the Mediterranean Sea in an attempt get to the fateful match on time.
During their three-day journey, their friendship is put to the test, they savor the taste of first love, and discover character traits and abilities in themselves that they never knew they had. The innocent adventure evolves into a coming-of-age journey, and the adventure of a lifetime.
