Synopsis

Four windsurfers dream of winning the Windsurfing World Championship and becoming heroes. Financial problems, lack of recognition, family crisis and even the death of relatives are just some of the obstacles they must encounter on their way to success. An intimate portrait filmed throughout four years that reveals the human side of high-level athletes, from the privacy of their homes in a small fishing town in Margarita Island to the most exuberant locations in 5 countries.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 12

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
