About

A documentary following Wiebke Lühmann on her 430-day bicycle journey from Freiburg to the Cape of Good Hope.

Same Sun follows Wiebke Lühmann on a 430-day bicycle journey from Freiburg to the Cape of Good Hope. Lühmann appears as herself in Fabienne Engel's documentary. The German film is 82 minutes long. The route takes her through 22 countries, Sahara storms, the rainy season, the Congo Basin and the deserts of Namibia. The film stays close to the inner and outer challenges of the trip. Her journey begins as a search for independence and becomes an intimate exploration of identity.
