(An aerial road movie along the coasts of California from north to south)

From San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge to the select hills of Hollywood in Los Angeles, from the sequoia forests in the far north of the most populated state in the USA to the desert vastness near San Diego on the Mexican border, the Californian coasts of the Pacific unroll over nearly 1,200 miles of breath-taking landscapes. Without doubt one of the most highly prized coastlines in the world. A fabulous stretch of coast. Aboard a helicopter, the film crew records the journey from the north to the south of California from the sky, setting down from time to time to meet people along the way: a seaplane pilot in San Francisco, a “newscopter” pilot in Los Angeles, an SUV fan on the long dunes of Pismo Beach, a surfer living in one of the many “gated communities” that string along the coast to the south of Los Angeles.
