BEYOND PARALLELS
A 45-MINUTES DOCUMENTARY FILM
SYNOPSIS
After crossing Canada from north to south in 2021, the adventurers of AKOR expeditions set out on a new challenge: a crossing of the Canadian Far North, from the Yukon to the eastern edge of the country on Baffin Island. A 6,900-kilometre journey by bike, canoe, sailboat and on foot. But just months before departure, Nico, a key member of the team, is sidelined by a serious injury. The long road to his recovery unexpectedly initiates another journey: inspired by AKOR, a group of 12 people living with chronic pain embark on a collective challenge to cover, as a team, the 6,900 kilometres traveled by AKOR's 2024 expedition, at the same time as the adventurers, despite their own physical limitations.
Beyond Parallels tells the story of two groups with vastly different realities, united by a shared goal: to push their limits. An inspiring adventure film about perseverance, resilience, and the transformative power of collective effort.
