artofcine presents “The way around (our problems)”
„The way around (our problems)“ shows our journey from Malmö to the North Cape and back, taking us on remote trails through the untouched wilderness of Scandinavia. This documentary takes us on a journey that is not only physically challenging, but also an escape from the everyday hustle of our society.
The Story
Franzi and Jan have decided to escape this hectic pace and focus on the beauty and freedom of nature instead. Their journey begins in Malmö, from where they cycle their way through the breathtaking Scandinavian landscape to the North Cape. Along the way, they will explore remote trails, far away from cities and crowds. But their adventure doesn’t end at the North Cape – they return to Malmö via Finland and Sweden, having covered a total of over 6,000 kilometers and 60000 meters in altitude.
The film not only captures the beauty of the landscape and the challenges of bikepacking, but also focuses on the escape from the everyday routine of our modern society. „The way around (our problems)“ is intended to inspire and encourage people to focus on the essentials and enjoy the peace and freedom of nature.
