In Tahiti, December 2003, six friends, amateur sailors, challenged themselves to round the dreadful Cape Horn. They embarked on the Elora for a 4500-nautical-mile trip.

Living in the tropics is like being on vacation, but sailing in the Roaring Forties in nothing else than damages and dead calm. Impatience, worry and weariness taker over from pleasure. In the Furious Fifties, finally, the wind blows, but with the fight against the forces of nature comes fear. Will the Elora and its crew reach Ushuaia, their final destination?

Olivier Marchon followed the odyssey of those men "The young men and the sea" and offers you to live it for yourself with the film he made.
