Spanish firefighter Didac Costa and his motley crew of mostly volunteers put everything on the line to face possibly the most extreme sporting event on the planet: the Vendée Globe, a solo, non-stop, unassisted sailing race around the world. The Vendée Globe is such a difficult race that more people have gone into outer space than have completed sailing’s greatest challenge. Fewer still have done it twice, a list that now includes Costa. The film follows Costa as he battles mounting personal debt, untimely lightning, a collision with a whale, flooding, and ultimately the Southern Ocean, home to some of the most inhospitable seas on Earth. Beyond the thrill of navigating the toughest conditions on Earth, the film is a gripping portrait of an introvert obsessed with a dream that could very well kill him. Or elevate it to sports immortality.
