"The ocean is open to everyone. If you do it standing up, lying down, with a board, without a board. It makes no difference. It's just about you finding your fulfillment in it." The 46-minute documentary "Open Ocean" provides insights into the world of adaptive surfing in the north of Portugal, where people with and without disabilities conquer the waves together. The film focuses on the stories of Hannes, Fritzi, Adriani, Pia and Malin, who experience the magic of the ocean from their own individual perspectives. Hannes, a tetraplegic surfer, shows his determination to not let anything stop him. Fritzi, an experienced surf instructor, is committed to teaching others how to surf. Adriani, a blind surfer, shows dedication and courage. And Pia, also a wheelchair user, travels to Portugal with her friend Malin and finds joy and healing in surfing. "Open Ocean" is more than just a film about surfing: it is an inspiring journey and invites viewers to experience how people with different challenges overcome barriers to pursue their passion.
