A group of girls sets off for a remote island to learn kitesurfing. They dream of soaring above the water like their instructors, strange, rude guys obsessed with the waves and wind. The boys aren't exactly thrilled about having to teach someone, but they need the money for a trip to Cape Verde. What is true kitesurfing—the joy of flight or the pain and humiliation? And what is freedom for the islanders—embracing their own path or escaping the big world?
