Meike, Cätschi, Steffi and Timna are facing the challenge of their lives: the Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge. The four women want to be the first German team to take part in “the world’s toughest rowing race” and to cross the Atlantic in a rowboat. Extreme conditions await on their 3000 miles route from La Gomera to the Caribbean Island of Antigua: meter-high waves, scorching heat and relentless storms. But the tough challenge of the four women already starts long before the dangerous journey.

The theatrical release in Germany was planed for November 5th. Due to the new restrictions regarding the spread of the Corona virus we had to postpone our plans. For information about the international distribution please subscribe to our newsletter and follow us on Instagram or Facebook
