Description

13-year-old Sophie and her cousin Cody record their transatlantic crossing aboard the Wanderer, a 45' sailboat, which, along with uncles and another cousin, is en route to visit their grandfather in England. Sophie is the only girl amongst the surly crew of the Wanderer made up of her three uncles and two cousins. They sail across the Atlantic toward England, the land of Bompie, her grandfather. The sea calls her but the personal journey brings her deeper into a forgotten past. The Wanderer sails toward its destination, and its passengers search for their places in the world.
