Four friends, bound by a thirst for adventure, bid farewell to the
cozy comforts of home and embark on a cycling journey through
the Balkans. Félix and Nicolas, armed with their cameras, will stop
at nothing to immortalize every moment. Alongside them, is Annie,
a determined scientist on a quest to uncover the secrets of a most
enigmatic species of bats. And then there’s Mathieu, who quite frankly,
hasn’t a clue what he’s gotten himself into...
​
This film originated from the idea of using fiction to push the boundaries of the adventure film category.
The film was selected to numerous film festivals including Banff Film Festival.
