The Long Distance (english sub)

Society/Sport, Germany 2015

A Kenyan farmer and a cow boy want to run their way out of poverty. Their hope is to take part in marathons in Europe through the intermediary of a German athlete manager, whose winnings come with hefty bonuses. Running as the key to money, linking human destinies on two continents. The journey to so-called happiness leads unexpectedly to the limits of human capacity. How far can hope bear the pain of fighting one's own body? A dense network of interdependencies is formed, in which no decision remains without effect on the other.
