Every year, a walking competition lasting two days and nights and covering more than 800 miles takes place in Bucharest.
To win, competitors must give it everything they’ve got. The trophy isn’t much, a car. What’s really at stake is being able to transcend the barrier of the self.
The night before the competition is due to start, Yon Holban, from Bucharest, is bowled over by a pick-up truck. Winner of the last four competitions, he is now out of the running. But many unexpected incidents lie ahead in this race full of surprises.
