This movie is inspired by an amazing true story about a dolphin which gets entangled in a crab trap and loses its tail. She is rescued by a boy, Sawyer, and transported to the Clearwater Marine Hospital, where she is given the name Winter. A brilliant prostethics doctor (played by Morgan Freeman) then finds a way to fix Winter with a prosthetic tail. In the meantime, Sawyer forms a bond with the Winter.
In the movie, the real Winter plays itself. It is a symbol of courage, perseverance and hope to millions of people who have been touched by her remarkable story of recoverability and rehabilitation.
