Five girls grow up together in a small rural village, surrounded by lush nature and peaceful canals. They have been best friends since kindergarten, playing and bonding over shared adventures. Being on or near the water comes natural to them.

Years later they find themselves united again at a rowing competition. This time the careless fun from earlier years has become serious sport. They reach the finals where they will face the favorite home team. The pressure mounts and first cracks appear, testing the lifelong friendship among the group.
