Experiencing Interruptions?

L E N A

L E N A documents the journey of the first German, female big wave surfer. Led by the fascination for the biggest waves of her life, and guided by the sombre respect for the power of the ocean, this film does not shy away from the complexities in telling Lena´s story of purpose and persistence in Nazaré.
