Emil Leenderts: Caught The Bug

English



Donate to help iF3

A powder-addicted snowboarder is consumed by chasing the next high. While tracking forecasts, suffering from FOMO, and drowning in social media, he turns to a support group to seek help.

Blending thrill, humor, and irony, the film explores the fine line between passion and obsession.
