Perfect Road
For ten years, his bicycle has been his only home.
For ten years, Max has been living on his bike – with no fixed address, no possessions, and no obligations. Instead, he’s drawn to the Alps, always in search of freedom and new peaks. But the further he drifts from an ordinary life, the clearer the downside of his independence becomes. Amid steep mountain passes and long days on his bike, Max begins to question what freedom truly means to him.
Set against the backdrop of breathtaking mountain landscapes and Alpine panoramas, “Perfect Road” follows an unconventional way of life and tells the story of the longing to break free from social expectations.
