REBORN ON WATER

follows Weronika Lato, a passionated windsurfer whose life was abruptly interrupted by a rare and aggressive bone cancer.

After a radical surgery that removed large parts of her pelvis and left her future uncertain, returning to sport seemed impossible. What follows is not a story about winning or performance, but about rebuilding trust in one’s body and mind. Set between recovery, wind and water, the short film explores how identity shifts when everything familiar is taken away.


A documentary about resilience, courage – and the quiet power of coming back.
