The world of surfing in Malibu in the 1950s belonged exclusively to men, but Kathy Kohner - nicknamed Gidget for her short stature - decided to make her way in it: new friendships, first love experiences and an immense passion for surfing. Based on a true story and written by her own father, Gidget is a provocative narrative about adolescence, profusely sprinkled with the slang of its time, which over the years has created its own cultural imaginary and has turned its protagonist into a legend of the female surfing and the heroine of an entire generation.
