Break a leg! (2014) 12

Czech Republic | 2014 | 68 min.

Over the past few years, three handbikers have traveled through Iceland, Israel and Palestine. This time, Jiří Čeloud, Martin Matěj, and Pavel Přichystal head out on an adventure under the cruel African sun. Living five weeks in the saddle of a hand-cranked bike, having only the bare essentials with you in a backpack, sleeping in a tent or in the open, cooking over a fire - that may sound romantic, but after a week in the snow of the High Atlas, the participants recall the journey as a struggle with winter, time and self.
