Synopsis
A young man from a lowly Bremen suburb has a dream: Against the traditional views of his Turkish-born family, Savas Coban wants to become a professional extreme athlete. Thus, he runs 87 ultra-marathons in 87 days across crisis-ridden Peru: He conquers all climate zones, traverses the desert, jungle, the snow-covered Andes as well as burning barricades. Always trying to prove to his family and to himself, that everything is possible if you just believe in yourself. An adventure-documentary about an incredible undertaking and the indomitable wish for acceptance and self-fulfillment. Best Documentary – VICTUS. Award 2024.
