The Wind in her Hands

80 Min., Dokumentarfilm

With no experience, Elena throws herself into Olympic windsurfing and with her comes a past she has suppressed. The immense pressure brings to the surface a trauma of sexual violence. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the ocean, this poetic film explores the fragile line between ambition, self-sabotage, and the moment of losing control.
