A group of young people sails out into open waters on a hired yacht.
Then they all together jump overboard to swim.
Too late they realize that nobody thought of putting out a ladder.
Despite trying everything, they cannot get back on the boat, and finally they perish in the ocean.
This real-life drama, which happened in Greece, was reenacted by the insurance company with a water polo team to find out if it really was impossible to survive.
