Synopsis :
“If you fall in love, you better go to hell“. Surfing is the iconic male dominated ideal of freedom generated by the western world. For moroccan surf instructors it's also more than a job. The paradise provides its attraction. But now the borders are closed. Beside the images you follow the distant but intimate chat between filmmaker and surf instructors.
