A FILM ABOUT RESILIENCE AND DISCOVERY
Dolore
Human nature is inherently curious, driving us to explore the unknown, take risks, and overcome life's obstacles. Regardless of our starting point, it is the journey marked by continuous progression that truly defines us, not merely the attainment of goals. This film serves as an inspiration for us all to embrace challenges, venture beyond our comfort zones, and discover the beauty of life in the small, often overlooked moments. It encourages a mindset that finds fulfillment in the process of growth, urging viewers to appreciate the richness of their experiences and to recognize that the most profound transformations occur along the path of self-discovery.
In a departure from the world of competitive racing and structured training, a pair of professional para-snowboard athletes embark on a quest driven by curiosity and a longing for new challenges—their very first high-alpine split board tour.
“Having fun with a disability or without, adds a lot to what snowboarding is about.”
Chris Vos
“It’s really cool to show that there’s more than racing in adaptive snowboarding … and that it’s also just going out and having fun. I think that’s really important.”
Lisa Bunschoten
Documented through photography and film, their extraordinary adventure unfolds against the backdrop of breathtaking landscapes and unexpected obstacles, showcasing their resilience and determination. What sets this journey apart is the fact that both protagonists, equipped with prosthetic legs, redefine the limits of adventure and inspire by conquering not only nature's challenges but also their own.
