Transcending Waves

The Gauchos del Mar brothers (producers of the films Gauchos Del Mar, Tierra de Patagones and Peninsula Mitre) explore the Falkland Islands, a 700 hundred islands archipelago, aiming to unite and construct bridges through surfing and the ocean. After the Falklands War in 1982, the islands have been a very delicate subject in the Southern Hemisphere. The Azulay brothers aim to bring peace and start building a relationship in between the inhabitants of the Islands and Argentina that have been distant for more than 35 years. They find out that there are two local brothers who also surf and were also born after the conflict. Wanting to share some waves with them and make new friends, the Gauchos del Mar brothers find the conflict seems to trespass generations. They go on an expedition for 50 days immersed in the island's culture while searching for waves on foot, in a 4×4 truck, in inter-island planes and on a sailboat. They manage to explore uninhabited islands through a constant adverse climate and are surprised by the natural beauties that surround their coastlines, landscapes, and the local fauna.
