Crossing Europe

Rewind Barcelona

1 hr. 26 min. | Drama | Pegi 13

Hascoët, Émile, Léo and Paul are a group of teenage skateboarders. Borrowing Léo’s mother’s car, they set off for Barcelona, the mecca of skateboarding. On their first trip without adults, they throw themselves into skating, turning the city’s magnificent architecture into their playground without ever really noticing it, and subsist on tortillas. Ten years later, the friends try to piece together fragments of a journey that once seemed endless. Fiction and the director’s own memories intertwine in a tender, melancholy coming-of-age story.
