Italy | 2023 | 72 min.

Pierfrancesco lives with his family in the Brazilian village of Jericoacoara, which is known not only for its beautiful beaches and sand dunes, but also for ideal weather conditions for kitesurfing. Pierfrancesco is a kitesurfing star at the age of 11. In this time-lapse documentary, we follow his childhood from the time he took his first steps into the water at the age of three to the present day, when he is competing at the World Championships at the age of eleven. Pierfrancesco travels with his father and trainer not only in Brazil, but also to Spain, France and Italy, where he has relatives. Adrenaline-filled and visually appealing documentary about the courage, ambition and fears of a little boy in a fight against the enormous power of the ocean and wind in this interesting sport.
