The film is a documentary about former kitesurfer and windsurfer Achim Stuzmann, known as Stuzi. For 30 years, he dedicated his life to water sports, traveling all over the world. At the age of 50, he embarks on a journey that will change his life forever. Since then, Stuzi has lived with a severe disability that challenges him every day. Despite years of therapy, he must accept that he will never kitesurf again. However, one thing hasn’t changed: Stuzi still lives in one of Germany’s most popular kitesurfing locations.
The documentary explores the loss that the former extreme athlete continues to process. He is caught between holding on to and letting go of the old Stuzi in a life he never thought he would live. But he does not give up easily, and sets off on a journey once again.
