The first Czech doc-reality film. Using basic technical equipment, a team of independent travelers sets out on a journey across South America. 20 406 km across the most beautiful and the toughest terrain, from rainforests to mountain ranges, from mountain ranges to deserts, from deserts to green wilderness, from green wilderness to the icy edge of Antarctica. Beyond being merely an adventure, it is a story about friendship and cooperation between people who might not always completely understand each other. And it isn't only differences of opinion. Members of the team come from three countries – five Czechs, two Poles and one Slovak + two Trabants, one Fiat 126p and a beat-up Jawa 250. This team might just reveal more about cooperation in Central Europe than any Visegrad conference. (official distributor synopsis)

In these travelogues, incompetency provides the drama while the chosen route allows you to wonder over the (un)worldly beauty all around. The added value here are the Trabant "cars" and Little Mole, who makes a guest appearance. But seriously, a laid-back and well made road trip. The beautiful exteriors dominated by the salt plain and Machu Picchu, the mature domestic lines and well, of course, the thirst for adventure. Beautiful work.

Excellent, spontaneous, interesting, and suspenseful. There are moments here when I really felt that it must have been an incredible drama. Even so, I kept thinking that I actually envied them and that despite their significant problems, I'd love to experience something similar. The world is a beautiful place and worth exploring in any way. My first encounter with Trabants was definitely worth it.

I have already traveled around Africa with the Trabants, so I had an idea of what they would probably come up with as they continued their journey to the end of the world. When they were in South America, I kept following everything on their Facebook. So it wasn’t such a big surprise to me when I saw the end of the world in this documentary. Anyway, it was a great pleasure to watch this bunch of lunatics, who showed us all again that nothing is impossible. You just have to keep your cool. My only complaint is that I would’ve welcomed more shots of the places they were passing through instead of all those valves, cams, and God knows what parts of the engine they managed to kill on the Trabants and Maluch. Nevertheless, they shot it in their own way, they did the impossible and I had fun with their documentary. Hats off, I’ve never seen a better and more likeable travelogue full of adventure. All I have to do to make this experience complete is to meet Dan Přibán in person at a lecture, which I hope will happen soon.
