film synopsis
Smart, cheeky and ready for a challenge, Dabiz Riaño is a successful and happily married Fulbright Scholar whose sudden loss of dexterity in his right hand led to a diagnosis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, the degenerative condition that attacks the central nervous system and for which there is no known cure. Now a wheelchair user, yet not one to be slowed, Riaño sets out for his grandest adventure yet: spending six months traversing Eastern Europe and swimming in its most scenic lakes. Armed with a miniature GoPro camera, a tricked-out van and the help of two lively assistants, the scientist fulfills his dream of experiencing firsthand the beauty of the natural world in this touching and life-affirming road documentary.
