Multiple world record holder and extreme athlete Jonas Deichmann plunges into his next adventure - perhaps the most spectacular and longest triathlon of all time, from Munich to Munich once around the world. The 120 times Ironman distance tests his very limits – mental and physical – and yet he lives his life according to the motto "vale la pena" – it is worth the pain. Who is this man whom seemingly nothing – not even a global pandemic – can stop?

Once around the globe – from Munich to Munich – running, swimming, biking. Extreme athlete Jonas Deichmann has covered almost 40,000 kilometers on his incredible journey around the world. Completely unsupported, he cycles through Europe and Asia, swims from Karlobag along the Croatian coast to Dubrovnik and runs thousands of kilometers across Mexico. And things don't always go according to plan, as Jonas begins his journey in the midst of the Corona pandemic. Suddenly, important travel routes are closed overnight; border crossings become a feat of endurance, presenting him with unforeseeable challenges. He begins his journey almost alone, but increasingly the news of the "crazy German" spreads. And what happens next leaves all expectations behind: Jonas becomes a phenomenon, a symbol for a way of life. Because on his journey, he shares something with people that seems to have been lost in the dark hours of the Corona-years: hope.  

We accompanied Jonas on his fourteen-month-long adventure and were right with him as he mastered the enormous mental and physical challenge. The result is a documentary film that traces the core of human motivation; that tells of extreme experiences and the personal will to persevere..
