The Netherlands is a country that shouldn't exist, where one in five people lives below the level of the sea.

From the seabed of Texel to the massive gates of the Delta Works, we explore the engineering marvels and the human sacrifices that keep this landscape dry. 00:00 — The country that ends at a different hour every day 08:15 — The Great Closure Dam and the three-day stand 15:40 — A boy with his finger in a dike: The manufactured legend 22:30 — Flevoland: Walking on a seabed younger than its inhabitants 31:10 — The Dutch Water Line: A weapon made of flooded fields 42:25 — The Year of Disaster and the flaw of the frozen border 53:50 — The night the radio stayed silent: The tragedy of nineteen fifty-three 60:15 — Making room for the river: The future of a sinking land When the sea rises—and it will rise—will your city build a higher wall, or will it make room?
