Our Judges say:
What a family!? Love, humility and passion is brimming in this short film which had me teary and wondering if we could sell everything up and buy a van. Big thumbs up and a must watch.Hannah Maia
The film tells the story of the Schneeberger family a.k.a The 9 Wheels. Mountain bike stars of the future, Emric (10) and Raoul (13) are home schooled by their parents Toni and Laetitia. They live in their motorhome going from bike park to bike park across Europe, a decision prompted by the discovery of a neurodegenerative disease in Laetitia. This film explores what it is like to live with a disability, brotherly love, the devotion of parents and ultimately, what it is like to live life one day at a time. A family living life to the fullest. This film is packed with emotion, soul, hope and high power riding scenes!
Sustainability Notes:
I think the film addresses sustainability in the sense it encourages the audience to re-think their life choices and value what is really important in life. It challenges the notions we're given by society of how to live our lives.
