The protagonist of "Tour de Force," Hans, learns that his days of being able to move about healthily are numbered. Deciding to keep this secret, he invites his close friends on an epic cross-country cycling adventure from Germany to Belgium. Not long after setting off, everyone notices that Hans is getting tired easily and something seems off. But secrets can’t stay hidden forever, and Hans eventually confesses to his friends that this will be the last journey of his life—revealing why he chose Belgium as their final destination. His friends go from shock and denial to mustering the strength to cheer up and help Hans complete all the challenges along the way, each one wilder than the last. Deep down, they know this journey will become the most magnificent adventure and the wildest celebration of their lives.

The film uses cycling as a medium for this cross-border journey. Beyond the emotional flow in the story, it also showcases the beautiful scenery along the route from Germany to Belgium. The simple yet extraordinary visuals bring viewers close to the natural beauty of the cycling routes. Through heartfelt and genuine friendship, as well as slightly crazy yet liberating reactions, it unveils an unforgettable journey of life.

"Tour de Force" stars German heartthrob and award-winning actor Florian David Fitz, who previously won the German Film Award for Best Actor for his role as a Tourette syndrome patient in "Vincent Wants to Sea." In this new film, he once again portrays a character with a rare disease, delicately depicting the protagonist’s journey from anxiety to courage. The intense emotions that burn with the passion of life tug at the heartstrings, making it one of the most moving films since "Still Alice." The prestigious American film magazine Variety even named this movie “Germany’s Best Film of the Year.” It was released in Taiwan on April 30, 2015.
