What happens

Caught by a Wave (Italian: Sulla Stessa Onda) is a 2021 coming-of-age romance film directed by Massimiliano Camaiti, based on a screenplay written by Camaiti and Claudia Bottino. Produced by the Italian company Cinemaundici, the film stars Elvira Camarrone and Roberto Christian as two high school students who fall in love after meeting at a regatta-oriented summer camp on Sicily, though their romance is soon complicated when Camarrone's character, Sara, is diagnosed with muscular dystrophy. The film was released on Netflix on March 25, 2021. Originally produced in Italian, the film features Donatella Finocchiaro, Corrado Invernizzi, and Vincenzo Amato, and features the voices of Anne Yatco and Josh Zuckerman in the English dub.
