About this title

Storyline

In November 1984 two Swedish girls drift out to the Baltic Sea in a rowboat. The first night they have a close encounter with something they believe to be a gigantic platform. Minutes later as the platform vanishes down below the surface of the water they realize it was a submarine. 48 hours later they are rescued by a Soviet union cargo ship by the name of DAGESTAN. At the time media focused its attention on the sunshine story and the miraculous rescue of the two young girls. The actual encounter with the submarine becomes a state secret that involves the Swedish and Russian intelligence and is not shared with the media at the time. This is also a story about a strong friendship and their well kept secret; and a Russian submarine Captain who took a huge risk saving two complete strangers from a certain death.
