Storyline

The eleven year old cycling talent Freddy is the son of a butcher in an idyllic village in no man's land. His isolated life is turned upside down completely in 1975 when the first supermarket in the village opens its doors. To mark the opening the supermarket organizes a cycling race and the winner of that match will meet Eddy Merckx. Freddy's father is a fervent opponent of the supermarket and the competition, but Freddy subscribes behind his back. By participating in the race a new world opens, not only for Freddy, but also for all those around him.

Goofs

About 13:30 into the movie, two characters dance to a gramophone record. This record spins at 78 rpm. However, the print on the record clearly says 33 1/3. The sound is as if the record is at its normal speed.
