Storyline

"Alone at sea" is a first feature-length documentary tracing Eric Bellion's psychological journey during his race on the Vendée Globe 2016-2017, a yacht race around the globe, single-handed and without assistance. Eric Bellion filmed himself during the 99 days of his race. He has never sailed solo for more than 6 days. This is an unprecedented immersive document of a man facing himself, loneliness and natural elements. No voice-over, no additional image or music, the novice sailor gets the spectator into a true initiatory journey around the world with his boat and himself. Here is a non-mixed version of the movie.

User Reviews

interesting

Documentary about the 3 months spent at sea by a competitor registered in the Vendée Globe, a well-known French race. Alone, without assistance, without stopover. Full south during the first month (from France). Full east during another month (around the south pole). And then full north during the last month (to France). Loneliness and resilience are treated interestingly.
