Zeebenen - Sam Dijkstra

Dutch Mountain Film

On a sweltering beach day, Maas faces his insecurity about his disability. When everyone around him goes swimming, he has to make a choice. Does he dare to expose himself? 

Maas accompanies his brand-new girlfriend Sien to the beach to meet her friends. The group welcomes him enthusiastically, but Maas does not feel comfortable. Because his legs are different, he finds it scary to take off his long trousers. Let alone going for a swim. When everyone else jumps into the sea, he hesitantly stays on a towel. Most of all, he wants to be in the water with Sien. Can he surrender to the waves to find a new balance together?
