On a journey
across Europe, starting in Rennes and finishing in Saint-Petersburg,
a team of young documentarists spontaneously and
poetically engage with an experience of culture,languages and borders.
The camera follows
Tao, a blooming artist travelling by the means of her skateboard.
Along the way they make insightful encounters and live
unique experiences, through a variety of colours, landscapes, creative initiatives and incredible movements coming to sight
progressively during their journey.
This summer tale reflects an individual challenge, generated by the experience
of various encounters,bringing out a single poetic line, a movement. Under the humble wheels of a skateboard hides a tribute
to the old continent. Overall, questioning the individuality, the mass, and moreover, us, the European youth.
