Acerca de esta película

A true love story filmed over four-years, across 32 countries by one man on a bicycle. Tom is all set for a 9--5 career in IT -- but at 23 he can't help wondering whether there's more to life. So he decided to leave behind everything he knew and set off on the ultimate adventure: cycling around the world without maps or guidebooks. Despite his lack of experience (in both long-distance cycling and filmmaking) Tom cycles and camps across three continents and captures every aspect of his road-trip, encountering a vivid cast of friends and foes. But eight months into his ride and alone in the mountains during a bitter Caucasian winter, he meets Tenny -- a feisty Iranian-Armenian who would change the course of his journey and then his life. Struggling to keep his dream alive, Tom convinces Tenny to get on a bicycle and join him. But when things don't go to plan, he is forced to continue riding alone. His decisions lead him to the depths of the Sahara desert, where -- amid challenges unimaginable -- he catches a glimpse of the answer he set out to find. Janapar -- named after the Armenian word for journey -- is an honest and life-affirming story. Combining stunning photography, skillful editing and an evocative soundtrack, it captures the spirit of a true adventurer who discovers what he's looking for when he least expected it.

Absolutely wonderful! A journey of the human experience. If we could all follow our dreams and passions. Who knows what we may find out about ourselves and our other fellow human beings. I hope love and adventure is alive and well for your future.

I enjoyed it. It feels like there is a lot left out but overall it was a good experience.

The desire and yearning to go find yourself is what makes us the pioneers of our own destiny and lives.
