Their unlikely collaboration brings together rival superpowers and ordinary people in an extraordinary effort to save the whales. With the help of de-icing machines, a Soviet ice-breaker ship, and the unwavering dedication of those involved, the whales are finally freed, but not without a heartbreaking loss.
