Our Judges say:

A lovely film following a family seeking out their dreams. An insight into a different way of living as a family, based on the wind direction and tides.

Jimmy Hyland

One of my faves, simplicity; not that simple in reality of course, but still a beautiful focus of adventure.

Claire Carter Writer, Film Officer for Kendal Mountain Festival, 'Creative Consultant'.

The ultimate family adventure holiday film!

This documentary shows the lifestyle of the Surf Island Family, a family of surfers- adventurers with an atypical, intriguing and inspiring lifestyle. Half-time teachers in France, they travel the world the second half of the year. When they are asked what they are looking for on these trips, they answer : « We travel to surf as a family and to meet other cultures. We travel to live our dream of a simple life far from the overconsumption. We travel to discover other people. And to discover ourselves. We have to manage with half as much income, but at least we have time. A lot of time.» In this 52 minute documentary, we join them on an adventure in Indonesia where, as usual with travel, nothing goes as planned . Then, the trip deviates to a completely different destination... Let’s go to Ireland !
