Storyline

Belgium, of all places. What's Belgium got besides chocolates and fries? No matter, this year it was Hannes' and Kiki's turn to choose the destination of their annual bike tour with their closest friends. They all look forward to the adventure, after all they know that what counts the most is the time they spend together. It's only after the tour has begun that Hannes tells his friends that he's suffering from an incurable disease. The trip is to be his last. At first, the group is shocked and helpless, but after they hit the road again, they embark on a wild and one-of-a-kind adventure. Through Hannes, they realize how precious life is. Equipped with a list of things that still remain to do, and aware that nothing will be the same after this trip, they celebrate life as they never did before.

Going places

This is a tough movie to watch. Yes everything must end, but can you stomach watching it through? The chemistry the actors have between them is really good. From time to time it feels like some have issues/are struggling when it comes down to acting in certain areas, but it's really just a small amount and it doesn't hurt the movie. Plus there seems to be a bit of ad libbing going on. Give the actors points (starting point, end point and maybe some hints in between) and let them do their thing, in this case a good idea.

The drama is really good and many things just feel real. Not everything will be resolved by the end, but the movie is able to touch people. Not something many German dramas can claim (unfortunately). This is very well made and deserves to be watched, if you are able to watch drama like this and cherish it.
