Hi, I am Alina! Join me on my solo-journey through Portugal as I explore the deep connection between humans and the ocean through the lens of surfing. Capturing in surf cities like Peniche, Ericeira, Nazare, Lisbon, Lagos, and Sagres, I explore the goals, fears, struggles, and challenges of those who call the ocean their playground. This film is not just for surfers, but for anyone who has ever felt a connection to the sea (or even never felt before but has a desire to feel it for the first time). A film that will connect you with your inner self as well as with the origin of all life on our planet – with the ocean. A film about how many valuable lessons we can take from the philosophy of surfing, since we all are surfing our own life waves on this journey.
Thanks to every surfer, that participated in the making of this movie. Charlotte Van Berkum Andres Melendez Christina Gindl José Brito Joana Andrade Lourenco Caneiro Alex d'Arte
