Make Waves! – Relaxation Is for Another Day

Charming fools with a noble goal and a bad plan

While his friends are off surfing in Portugal, 15-year-old Joshua has to endure one last family vacation in Italy. On his first evening there, he meets Mathilda, who calls him a murderer as he shovels down “frutti di mare”. He happens to overhear her plans to steal a sailing yacht and place herself on the path of a cruise ship’s way – all on camera for YouTube and Instagram! Joshua thinks the plan is rubbish, but he’s interested in Mathilda. So are the other three boys who are helping her. And the fact that Joshua’s parents will be able to observe everything from the beach means that this vacation might be a bit less boring than the last …
