Hin und weg (international title: Tour de force 1 ) is a German filmdirected by Christian Zübert , released in 2014 .

Synopsis

Each year, Hannes, Kiki, Michael, Mareike, Finn and Dominik make a bicycle trip. This year, Hannes and his wife Kiki decide the destination. Starting from Frankfurt am Main, the tour will end in front of the sea in Ostend , Belgium.

During the trip, the cyclists learn that it will be the last of Hannes. He is affected by ALS , the disease is incurable. Hannes has known the diagnosis for some time, but did not say anything because he did not want to overwhelm his friends. Marked by the same illness as his father, he chose Belgium to ask for euthanasia . This causes misunderstanding and the cycling tour threatens to become a disaster.

During the trip, friends meet slowly. Common activities such as parachute jumping or incivility alleviate the atmosphere. The last part of the journey leads them to the mother of Hannes, for Hannes is becoming weaker. When they arrived in Belgium, they learned that the doctor who had to carry out the euthanasia was himself dead. But even after this postponement, Hannes maintains his decision.
