"This documentary is as simple as it gets. A man, Felix, travels through 22 countries on his bike and documents his journey.
Felix is a likeable, friendly man to follow and his constant reminders that this journey is about the people he meets and the kindness he sees never feels overly sentimental or eye-rollingly sweet.
Instead, we get to absorb the breathtaking views of many countries as we travel with Felix down many a lonely road with nothing but rolling fields or mountains for company.
The problem, however, is we never really get to here or see much about the people he meets.
There are some short snippets when other travelers briefly join him or minor information about countries or areas, and that magic connection with the people of the world we hear so much is sorely lacking in what we see, which makes this harder to feel like you're riding along with him and experiencing the same joys"
