Turning Tide (original title: En solitaire) is a 2013 French drama film directed by Christophe Offenstein.

Plot

Yann Kermadec has short notice to replace the main skipper in the Vendée Globe. After a few days of racing, Yann's yacth is leading when he is forced to stop to repair its damaged rudder. This upends his chances in the round-the-world race.

Cast

Production

Principal photography began at the start of October 2012, shooting for four weeks in Lorient. The production shot primarily at sea, including off the coast of Groix. It then moved to the Côte de Lumière, including Brem-sur-Mer and Les Sables-d'Olonne just before the start of the 2012–2013 Vendée Globe. Filming also travelled to the Canary Islands. In December, it returned to Lorient.[3][4]
