Synopsis:
The Gauchos del mar brothers explore the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas), a 700
hundred islands archipelago, aiming to unite and construct bridges through surfing
and the ocean. After the 1982 War, the islands have been a very delicate subject in the
Southern Hemisphere.
This project aims to bring peace and start building a relationship in between the
inhabitants of the Islands and Argentina that have been distant for more than 35 years.
They find out that there are two local brothers who also surf and were also born after
the conflict. They want to share some waves with them and make new friends as they
usually do in their adventures, but the conflict seems to trespass generations. They go
on an expedition for 50 days immersed in the islands” culture while searching for
waves on foot, in a 4×4 truck, in inter-island planes and on a sailboat.
They manage to explore uninhabited islands through a constant adverse climate and
are surprised by the natural beauties that surround their coastlines, landscapes, and
the local fauna.
