Storyline:
One man, one ocean, the story of a century… A true story about Aurimas Valujavicius, the first Lithuanian who, without anyone’s help, embarked on one of the greatest adventures of his life – an 8,500 km journey across the Atlantic ocean in the rowing boat “Lituanica”, to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the flight of S. Darius and S. Girenas Atlantic ocean anniversary. Immerse yourself in loneliness and euphoria, pain and joy, anxiety and hope that the Atlantic Ocean will be rowed from continental Europe to continental North America and the coast of Miami will be reached victoriously. Only these thoughts have been in Aurimas head for several years, and he is going to the open ocean after more than two years of intense preparation for a historic and at the same time record-breaking trip. Physical preparation, psychological and sharp discipline and daily growing adrenaline due to the set goal, the atmosphere only heats up even more. Countless hours and days of work lead Aurimas to the long-awaited start of the trip, early on Christmas morning. His most important rule is to never stop paddling!
