Little John spends his summer holidays on an island in the Aegean, with the sun heating the sea and the wind blowing dreams. He makes paper boats, which make him feel like a captain and explorer, ready to discover unknown worlds.

Beside him, his grandfather unfolds stories about distant seas and mysteries in shipyards. The present blends with the past through the stories of the Liberty ships, which carried supplies, weapons, and hope across the darkest seas of World War II. And when everything ended and the flames of war died out, the Liberties passed into the hands of Greek shipowners and became the foundation of a new beginning for Greek shipping, which learned to dominate the world’s seas.

As the little boy’s paper boats meet the legends of the past, a new compass is born within him; not only for sailors but for all those who dare to dream.

A journey of initiation into the sea, memory, and the power of goals. Because sometimes, a paper boat can lead you much farther than you imagine.
