Synopsis
Carolina Modena (50) and Cristina Ganem (58), two swimmers, set out to fulfill a dream: to swim in the icy waters of the great white continent. United by this goal, they train, sail and swim under extreme conditions, supported by a team that accompanies them throughout the journey. Completing five thousand strokes without any thermal protection transforms the experience into a deep alliance, where bodies, time and landscape converge. Antarctic Strokes portrays this epic journey.
