The documentary tells the story of Andrew McAuley. McAuley was an Australian adventurer. In 2006 he set out on an undertaking. His aim was to be the first person to cross the Tasman Sea by kayak. The Tasman is difficult water. It is counted among the loneliest and toughest stretches of sea in the world. The film builds the story of that attempt. The account follows a single man. The work runs documentary and adventure together. The attempt begins in 2006. The width of the sea and its loneliness are the ground of the account. The kayak is the craft, and paddling it alone is the method. Jennifer Peedom and David Michôd’s Australian documentary of 2008 runs fifty five minutes.
