A Pensive, Mesmerizing Eulogy About the Brazilian Teammates of a Downhill Skateboarding Icon – Allysson Pastrana – Coming to Terms with their Existential Angst Over His Sudden Death During a Downhill Speeding Competition

Inspired by one of the film’s directors, this is a bitter-sweet tale about downhill skateboarders coming to grips with the existential grief they are experiencing over the death of a teammate who died in a competition. This film is tagged as a documentary-drama-sport-movie yet it’s filmmaking is infused with a fierce spirituality that is cosmic, surrealistic and transcendent.
