Contos de Nazaré

In the Portuguese village of Nazaré, where ancestral faith meets the roar of the Atlantic, extraordinary stories take shape in the world's greatest big-wave arena. Steering clear of clichés, this 5-episode docuseries dives into the lives of ten real people, among surfers, photographers and jet ski drivers, who found healing, purpose and redemption in the ocean.

The series explores the human side of big-wave surfing and the balance between body and mind. From Rodrigo Koxa's journey to the world record to Pablo Bezerra's reconnection with his mental health, the narrative reveals a world of monastic preparation in which every wave is a rite of passage.

Entirely produced, directed and written by Costa Blanca Films in Portugal, in partnership with Globalmed, the project features powerful imagery to show that conquering the sea at Nazaré begins, above all, with conquering yourself.

Now streaming on Prime Video, Globoplay and Looke.
