A film by Katell Quillévéré. In french with ger­man subtitles.

Surfing usual­ly stands for life and free­dom. Sometimes the oppo­si­te: In the light of dawn, three young sur­fers head for the oce­an. Surf’s up! Stormy swells pro­mi­se powerful brea­k­ers. A few hour­se later, one of them, Simon, is just an emp­ty shell being kept ali­ve by machi­nes. At the same time, a woman waits for the organ donor that will save her life. In moving, sen­si­ti­ve images, cross­cut­ting adre­na­line-laden sports pho­to­gra­phy with the lifel­ess body in the ICU, direc­tor Katell Quillévéré exami­nes the dif­fi­cult ques­ti­on of how the living should deal with the dead. Based on the novel by Maylis de Kerangal.
