ABOUT THE MOVIE
The film chronicles the adventure of Slobodan Dado Velikić, the first sailor from Rijeka to cross the Atlantic solo. Dado takes on one of the world's most challenging single-handed races – the Minitransat, a grueling 4,500-mile journey across open ocean from Europe to America. His tiny 6.5-meter boat, Sisa II, becomes his home, his universe, and his only refuge between sky and endless sea. The camera serves as his ship's log, capturing a life stripped down to its essence: wind, waves, exhaustion, and the inevitable confrontation with oneself.
