CHASING TORNADO is a personal youth portrait about winning and losing, about love and about letting go of a passion in order to grow up. The Danish world champion of table soccer, Amalie Bremer, dreams about beating the Americans on their infamous foosball table, Tornado. But how does a successful, competitive female athlete handle the greatest challenge yet in her professional career? We follow Amalie on her personal journey towards making her dream come true to become the first female world champion on all five recognized table soccer tables in a passionate serious niche sport no one knows about.
