Synopsis

Surfing for Seniors is a choral story that follows retirees from Chile and Spain in their daily life in front of technologies. A painter who looks for guys through Grindr to portray nudes; a tarot reader who tries to take her business to the digital world. A portrait of old age, loneliness, and exclusion, but also the search to feel connected.
