East and West sides. It has a long history and is the birthplace of the Lianghe civilization. In 2000 BC, the Amorites established the Kingdom of Babylon, one of the four ancient civilizations in the world. From 550 BC, it was successively invaded and ruled by the Persian Empire, the Arab Empire and the Ottoman Empire. In 1920, it became the "Mandate of Mesopotamia" by the United Kingdom, and the Republic was established on July 14, 1958. The oil industry is the backbone of its economy, and its crude oil reserves ranks fourth in the world, after Venezuela, Saudi Arabia and Iran.

The official language is Arabic, the official language of the northern Kurdish region is Kurdish, and some residents of the eastern region speak Persian. On March 20, 2003, the United States, Britain and other countries unilaterally launched the Iraq War. On April 9, the U.S. captured Baghdad and the Saddam regime was overthrown. On May 1, US President George W. Bush announced the end of the major fighting in Iraq. On December 20, 2011, the United States achieved a complete withdrawal of troops from Iraq. On February 5, 2015, in view of the improvement of the security situation in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, it was decided to start lifting the curfew in Baghdad for several years on the 7th.
Judging from the situation of the US-Iraq war for more than 8 years, the frightened and difficult life made the male protagonist's girlfriend's family immigrate to the UK because her father has worked in the UK for many years, and they are legal immigrants. The male protagonist, on the other hand, was from a poor family. In order to see his girlfriend with her, he walked alone from Iraq for three months. From Iraq to France, the straight-line distance between the geographic centers of the two countries is 3,777 kilometers. When the male protagonist arrived in France, there was not much entanglement on his body. He has also arrived in France for a long time.
Through the introduction of fellow villagers, you can smuggle money into the UK by hiding in a truck, but after that, the male protagonist has tried many times and failed: every time he is covered with a plastic bag over his head, he is too stuffy, which is different from the male protagonist. It is related to the psychological shadow caused by being captured by the US military and covering his head with a black cloth for several days. When the checkpoint staff used equipment to measure carbon dioxide levels exceeding the standard, they were found hiding in the cargo.
So the male protagonist who has no money wants to reach the UK by swimming the Lamanche Strait. He came to the swimming tube and asked a professional coach to teach him two freestyle lessons. The French swimming coach was once a national champion. He and his wife have been married for many years and have not had children. The reason for their divorce is not clearly stated in the film. They seem to still cherish each other. When the pressure is very high, the ex-wife is still willing to use sex to cooperate with him to vent when she has a new boyfriend.
In addition to serving in the school, his ex-wife also volunteered to help refugees. Influenced by his wife, the coach began to pay attention to the Arab who came to learn to swim desperately. After understanding his true intentions, he began to help him. The coach also kindly took the male protagonist and fellow villagers back to the apartment building for the night, and was complained by the neighbors. After being complained twice, the coach's personal freedom was restricted and he had to report to the community management office every day. And the male protagonist's swimming skills have improved a lot. After receiving a call from his girlfriend who was about to marry an older cousin who opened a restaurant, she cried. He took the antifreeze swimsuit given by the coach early in the morning. After 10 hours of hard work, he encountered countless strong winds and waves. Finally, he swam 800 meters away from the UK, but was found by the sea guard. Next, it's such a shame that I'm only 17 years old.
After the French coach received a call from the male protagonist and girlfriend not to let him go to the UK, he tried his best to dissuade him, thinking that he was a piece of swimming material, stay in France and stop going to the UK, and train him to become a swimmer. If the male protagonist listens to the coach and settles down in France to concentrate on swimming, he will definitely achieve something, and maybe he will become an Olympic athlete, because no one has successfully swam from France to the UK except the male protagonist. But the male protagonist is desperate for love and commitment to his girlfriend, yes! As long as the girlfriend says a word, the male protagonist will go: this is love, true love, love that travels far away.
