Sweet Adventure / Tasgaoudrar

Nouvague Surf Film Night

Sweet Adventure is an ode to the spirit of adventure, travelling, friendship, perfect waves and magical nature - and also an ode to El Salvador. Two of today's most exciting surfers, Hawaiians Matt Meola and Albee Layer, set off to Central America with Albee's girlfriend, pro skater Nora Vasconcellos, to find the legendary point breaks of El Salvador. They contact local Marcelo Castellanos, who promises to show them the beauty of the country, its people, culture, music, fauna and perfect waves. What follows is a completely crazy surf trip.

Tasgaoudrar means "behind the mountains" in the Berber language. It is a synonym for all the fishermen who used to live in the mountains and eventually moved to the sea because there were better chances of survival there. In TASGAOUDRAR, filmmaker and photographer Felix Gänsicke tells the story of a young Berber who loses his father. Only the power of the ocean gives him new courage to face life. In Taghazout, he discovers surfing for himself and devotes himself completely to his new passion for the sea. Fantastically and poetically told, with world-class water shots and the best surfers in Morocco!
