Description
Valentin Macke's adventure begins at age 21, traveling eastward through Turkey, the Caucasus, Iran, Pakistan, and India, then returning on an old bicycle through Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, and Russia. His journey takes him from jungles and deserts to high mountains, relying on truck drivers, nomads, and even Taliban fighters. His story emphasizes encounters over distances, including walking with nomads, sleeping in snow caves, and sharing tea with Taliban fighters. Facing dangers like being lost in Myanmar's jungle and being surrounded by armed men in Balochistan, Valentin's experiences highlight human kindness and resilience. His emotionally charged narrative combines storytelling, film, original sounds, and music.
