Charles Tobias once possessed a successful business, a large house and a Rolls-Royce. But one day he decided to leave the rat race and pursue the timeless dream of a free life on the sea. With a 60ft ketch, a crew of four, a chimpanzee and a cheetah, he made a five-year voyage from the Pacific to the islands of Greece in search of Cleopatra’s island. This beautiful film charts his long and sometimes perilous trip.
Documentarian and successful businessman Charles Tobias has it all: wealth, family, friends and a comfortable life in Los Angeles. But something still seems to be missing from his life. In an effort to find himself, he embarks on the journey of a lifetime — an exhilarating, five-year sailing adventure from the Bermuda Triangle to Asia Minor and the Greek Islands. Along the way, he fishes, hunts whales and fights the elements, all while trying to renew his appreciation for life.
