After surviving a terminal illness diagnosis, Blaž sets of to a grueling celebratory Giro d’Italia. With him is his partner, filmmaker Maja Doroteja Prelog, tasked with capturing the triumphant biking tour. What was initially planned as a ride from the Dolomites to Sicily to reclaim control on one’s own life and celebrate overcoming their greatest fear, soon becomes a journey of self-discovery for the couple. While the lens of the camera turns inward, the relationship unravels, revealing a brave examination of self and what it truly means to be together.

DIRECTOR'S NOTES:
Our triumphal project hit an emotional roadblock, and both film and relationship unraveled, in real time, on camera and in front of our crew. Personally, I was devastated. Professionally, I wondered: is this what I have to show the world? Though it felt like a betrayal, I had to examine my needs and experience.
