Features: The modern prosperity of Europe, the primitive vastness of Africa, the gentle charm of Paris, the majestic grandeur of the Sahara. The journey connecting these two points is destined to be a dream, a great dream. Since 1979, Sabine, the founder of the "Paris-Dakar" Rally, has turned this dream into a challenge with the unique romance, passion, and determination of the French. To meet the challenge and realize the dream is actually "just do it." Luo Ding—a Chinese driver who participates in the "Paris-Dakar" Rally, a Chinese driver who reaches the end of the "Paris-Dakar" Rally—quietly tells the stories of effort and achievement, overcoming and difficulties, the end and the start, failure and victory, about the "Paris-Dakar" Rally, about the rally and those incredible racers! The race is also a process of discovery, confrontation, and understanding of nature. For nature, the individual is truly insignificant, and the race is a test of a team and organization. Perhaps what needs to be overcome is only one's own fear, but what needs to be abandoned is not just the thought of retreating, but also the self that is relatively insignificant to nature and the collective. However, Luo Ding, who walks alone in the wilderness, also persists in being himself.
