CHEMIN DES VAGUES

2022 (France) - 30 minutes

Trailer: https://vimeo.com/676344451

Directed by John Duquoc and Sylvain Lapetitte

What do a young osteopath, an oyster farmer, a schoolgirl, a father and a young farmer have in common?
They all follow the path of the waves.
Not a simple weekend hobby, but a real life choice.
However, we are not in Polynesia, nor in the Basque country, we are in an atypical department of the Atlantic coast
Atlantic coast: the Charente Maritime.
"Waves in Charente Maritime? And why not Bobsleigh in Jamaica?"
Karl, a young breeder, takes us to discover the wave paths he is particularly fond of.

At the bend of some routes we meet other portraits.

Women and men who share the same passion of the glide.
