A passionate, magical and energising film about friends who are separated by almost everything, but have one thing in common - for years, on the waters of the cold Baltic Sea, they have been trying to catch the wave of their dreams. A captivating story about freedom, chasing one's dreams, friendship, determination and overcoming one's barriers.
The Baltic Sea – cold, bleak, not at all associated with surfing. Waves form there only for a dozen or so days a year. Paweł and Artur, despite living 500 km from the sea, do everything to be in the water on TE days. However, not everything goes their way. For several years they have been looking for the wave of their dreams. Is it even possible to catch it? After all this time, is it just about surfing?
