Off We Go!
The film provides a picture of young holiday makers, who travel around with just one backpack and a an Interrail ticket valid for all the trains of Europe. They can go wherever they like, always free to decide where to spend the next hight. But is there really much more freedom when you are travelling like that?

Waiting for the Peleton
What are the fans of the Tour de France doing when they cyclists are not passing them by? The question might sound strange at first but considering the fact that the people standing by the road see the peloton for about 30 seconds it might make some sense asking how do they spend the remaining 23 hours 59 minutes and 30 seconds of their day.
