This riveting documentary chronicles the incredible-but-true story of Aurimas Valujavičius, who embarked on one of the greatest challenges of his (or anyone’s) life: an 8500 kilometer solo journey across the Atlantic in his specially adapted rowboat ​“Lituanica.” An immersive film, it captures all of Aurimas’s loneliness and euphoria, pain and joy, anxiety and hope as he traverses the mighty, fearsome Atlantic Ocean. His watery travels will take him from continental Europe to North America, where he intends to arrive on the shores of Miami, Florida. After two years of intensive preparation, he starts his journey early on Christmas morning. Astonishing.
