St. Peter-Ording is about to make an investment that will change everything. The surfer's paradise is to give way to a hotel complex. In order to save it, an unequal competition has to be fought out on the water: windsurfers (Ralf) against kiters (Aleks), old against young, ego against compassion. But Ralf must first be brought from his new home in India. There he has been fighting against the Chinese regime for 15 years as a refugee. His childhood friend Tonio (A.

Annaud wanted to shoot "7 Years in Tibet" but got no permission, because of Chinese political pressure..
